mkisofs with large file support
Ilya Zakharevich
I discovered that mkisofs2 2.01a32 I have does not support large
files. What I'm getting is
File ./foo is not readable (errno = 24) - ignoring
File ./bar is not readable (errno = 24) - ignoring
Is there a version compiled with large file support? I have a couple
of 2.2GB files I would prefer to burn...
Thanks,
Ilya
P.S. Alternatively, is it possible to use DVD+R with os/2 UDF writer?
Would 4677000000 fit with the generated-UDF overhead?

There is a newer one here, but I didn't check if it has large file support.

I can try with a DVD+RW and tell you l8r.

It is better to close your mouth, and look like a fool,
than to open it, and remove all doubt.

A freshly formatted DVD+RW says:
4.691.034.112 total bytes on drive S:
4.690.694.144 bytes free on drive S:
(It must be the lostfiles.dir that consumes the few bytes)
Anyway, it looks like it is possible.

I have (from Hobbes) cdrtools2-2.01.01a04\Readme.mkisofs. The readme
claims, " Mkisofs can put to ISO9660 images files up to 4gb is size and
in UDF images files over 4gb in size. To read files over 4gb from UDF
image use latest UDF.IFS. Some earlier versions of UDF.IFS do not read
such files. "
Using this and DVDDAO on a JFS partition I have written DVD's with a
little over 4GB total data although these have not contained a single
file over 2GB.

This is not necessarily relevant. Mkisofs can CONTAIN CODE to put
large files to the image. However, it must also be CORRECTLY COMPILED
to *read* large files on OS/2.
AHA - I realized that 2.01.01a04 may be later than 2.01a32!!! Will retry...

Writing large files over a pipe (e.g., to DvdDao) was NEVER a problem.

Oups, it took me reading 2 replies (and half of answering another!) to
realize that 2.01.01a* is later than 2.01a*!
Already 2.01.01a04 can write stuff to /dev/nul (but has some false
warnings:
Cant open .mkisofsrc : The file or directory specified is read-only.
j:/home/.mkisofsrc: The file or directory specified is read-only.
). Will try with your version later...

Somebody already did it, so there is no need to experiment.
A lot of thanks,

Thanks; I'm adding it to my HOWTO-cd file (BTW, the top of it reads now:
Apparently, the max is: DVD-R: 2298496, DVD+R: 2295104;
DVD-R DL: 4171712, DVD+R DL: 4173824
I suspect that the number of sectors on +-RW flavors is the same...)

I assune you are aware that you need to work with a JFS formatted
partition to deal with files over 2GB.

I'm puzzled what mental model of my problem you managed to acquire...
Do you think I do not have the files I want to burn? ;-)

Today I needed to burn a disk with 4.6GB file, and I completely forgot
how I did it before. OK, here is the recipe:
The only OS/2 program I know which works with >4GB files is mkisofs2
version 2.01.01a04 (file date 2006/01/25). The full pipeline I used was
(nice -t -n -29 mkisofs2 -v -r -T -J --joliet-long -udf foo.bar
| dvddao_v - ) |& tee c:/tmp/00burn-hd-amazon
(the only relevant option is -udf) with dvddao_v aliased to
dvddao --aspidriver aspirou$ --device 0,1,0 --bufcnt 256 --lock V
--eject --verbose 4 --verify --reload --buffer-check 90
The resulting DVD is not very usable on OS/2 with my version of UDF
drivers, but it can be read without problems on WinXP. (AND it is not
hard to extract the file from the DVD by raw read of sectors - with
the start sector reported by isoinfo.)
Hope this helps,
Ilya

If you see these problems, you either don't use the original software or you
compiled some of them the wrong way.
mkisofs has large file support since 10 years. Of yource, your OS needs to
support large files and if you are on a non-POSIX os like OS2, you need a
correctly working support environment.
Note that GNU make may cause problems and that I recommend to use smake.
Smake + all other utilities is in the schily bundled archive at:
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily/
BTW: the error message from the OP related to a 9+ year old mkisofs version.
I recommend you to first upgrade to recent software.
