Description John Smith 2006-08-08 20:23:02 UTC
Using mkisofs-2.01.01.0.a03-3 on an up to date FC5.

When asked to create an iso image, mkisofs skips all files
(in the master tree) which are larger than 2GB.

Apparently this bug is fixed upstream in the latest version.

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2006-08-09 09:06:45 UTC
iso9660 cannot handle files > 2 GB
you have to create a udf file system

Comment 2 John Smith 2006-08-09 15:13:21 UTC
Sorry, I meant udf instead of iso.  When asked to create an udf image, mkisofs
skips all files which are larger than 2GB.

I use the following commandline:
mkisofs -J -R -udf bigfile >/dev/null

It says that it ignores bigfile.

The message at the following URL suggests that this is fixed upstream:

Curious why this "bug" has not yet been fixed even in FC6 updates.
Seems like the bug has been known for 4 months now...

This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and
will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
