--- Comment #38 from Thomas Schmitt <scdbac...@gmx.net> --- Hi, i think the new message in https://cgit.kde.org/k3b.git/commit/?id=41e6f110c7f2753b20537c23bad56b8ac4896ba2 is a bit courageous and makes the user wonder why the message is emitted at all: > "Found files bigger than 2 GB. These files will be fully accessible." I propose to either - omit the message (and only check for mkisofs option -allow-limited-size) - or to state that the files may be problematic on very old Linux and on systems which do not mount the UDF aspect of an ISO by default. Reasoning: The Large File Support of Linux stems from the early years of this century. E.g. these are introductions with modification dates 2004 and 2005: https://people.redhat.com/berrange/notes/largefile.html http://users.suse.com/~aj/linux_lfs.html The latter is talking of kernels 2.2 and 2.4. mkisofs with option -udf produces both sets of metadata: ISO 9660 and UDF. Linux and MS-Windows mount UDF by default if they see such a ISO 9660/UDF hybrid filesystem. The other operating systems have to be suspected to not handle large data files in ISO 9660 correctly. The ones among them, which do not mount the UDF aspect by default, will show problems. On POSIX compliant systems, which cannot properly read large files from ISO 9660 filesystems, it should be possible to use GNU xorriso for extracting large files to the local disk. Large File Support by the local operating system is then mandatory, of course. (xorriso can cut a large file into pieces before putting it onto hard disk. But such pieces are of course cumbersome to use.) Have a nice day :) Thomas -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
