yes my bad I should have included the misofs options I was using > The mkisofs man page contains the explanation, did you read it? > > Jörg I read the man page 5 times over, nowhere does it mention that if you want to burn single files greater than 4GB do you _need_ to use for example -iso-level 3 perhaps you can add that in the notes for this option, you should not expect everyone to know or understand iso9660:2009/1999/2999 or whatefer space age year you want to add, you know this stuff, you have to in order to perfect cdrtools, 99.9999999999% of the rest of us dont know this stuff :) anyways, it has been resolved using -iso-level 3, I guess its rare that people burn an iso with a single file larger than 4G, please take on board my suggestion to add that example in man (maybe GUI proggies like k3b etc know how to do it, but I'm scripting secondary backup CD's in addition to other backup methods, so this is run from bash silently in cron. perhaps take on board another suggestion, default iso-level that does this (I tried 3 not 2, maybe 2 does it too) be set as default, as I said, its 2016.. not 2006. thanks -- If you have the urge to reply to all rather than reply to list, you best first read http://members.ausics.net/qwerty/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
