I want to back up a large file to DVD. I have been backing up 'normal' files to DVD successfully for some time, but this one is 2725942329 bytes, and someting is keeping growisofs from writing any more than 8033337 bytes. I've tried twice and gotten this same length result both times. I can make another copy of the file on HD with cp and the copy has the same length, so I suppose there is no corruption of the file. But I should note that I cannot to a diff of the copy against the original because gives an error message "diff: memory exhausted" and quits almost immediately, i.e. well before it could have read even a few % of the files.
growisofs does not issue any error messages. It just issues it normal progress report and expected end time messages, writing trailer message. Is there a file size limit in the dvd?, the kernel?, where? -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
