Description of problem:
=======================
 When I run the following command:
mkisofs -f -r -T -J -V 5.2.1.0.8 -quiet -udf -o test.iso -m .svn MBT_5.2.1.0.9c/cm.gz

I get the following error:

mkisofs: Warning: -follow-links does not always work correctly; be careful.
mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type. File MBT_5.2.1.0.9c/cm.gz is too large – ignoring

my file cm.gz is over 4 G in size.  I am currently unable to create the iso for my product.

Is there a fix for this problem so that I can create my iso on RHEL 5.3 for 32bit?			

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mkisofs-2.01-10.7.el5

How reproducible:
  Make an iso using an image greater than 4 G


Steps to Reproduce:
1. same as for BZ 456221 

  
Actual results:
ISO image is not created because large file is ignored

Expected results:
should have successfully created the iso


Additional info:

Are  there any plans to fix this in RHEL5?

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2011-11-01 08:35:01 UTC
This would need a newer mkisofs version, which supports the "-allow-limited-size" option, because iso9660 does not allow files > 2GiB

I've updated to use the latest mkisofs that came with the RH5.7 distribution.  This version doesn't appear to support the allow-limited-size option. When I attempt to create an iso using it  I get the following error: 

./mkisofs -f -r -T -J -V 5.2.1.0.8 -quiet  --iso-level 3 -udf -o test.iso -m .svn MBT_5.2.1.0.9c

Correction to my comments:

The version I used that gave me the dump in the previous was from cdrtools.  (Which doesn't appear to support the allow-limited-size)
