4GB DVDs [ot]4GB DVDs [ot]Posted Jul 15, 2005 15:44 UTC (Fri) by Luyseyal (guest, #15693)Parent article: First Look at Knoppix 4.0
How do you burn a 4GB DVD image under Linux? I always end up with coasters if I try to burn anything with files over 2GB. I've heard this is a problem with a filesystem driver or something.
Any ideas?

4GB DVDs [ot] Posted Jul 16, 2005 20:38 UTC (Sat) by redoscar (guest, #31020) [Link] Initially, I tried using a minimal Libranet 2.8.1 install with K3b, cdrecord, and growisofs from Sid. DVD coasters were instantaneous.
Then, using SimplyMepis 3.3.1-1, I was able to successfully burn the Knoppix 4.0 DVD on my first attempt. Mepis was using the 2.6.10 kernel, but it was a standard installation of the Mepis CD. And this is on an old 500Mhz AMD K6-2, 256MB machine. I used the Ext3 filesystem on the installs and preserved the /home partition from the Libranet install for use by Mepis (the DVD .iso files were on the /home partition).
I can't tell you why it worked, it just did.

4GB DVDs [ot] Posted Aug 10, 2005 16:09 UTC (Wed) by cbetan (guest, #10157) [Link] The 2GB limitation applies to individual files you want to burn on a iso9660 filesystem.
In the case of Knoppix image -and this is the magic word: "image"- what you have to do is burn the pre-formatted iso9660 image into the dvd, not burn the iso file as a file.
If you use the program 'growisofs' (part of the dvd+rw-tools package):
bash# growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw=knoppix.iso
The line above will do the job (given your burner is /dev/dvdrw). However:
bash# growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw knoppix.iso
Without the 'equal' sign you will try to burn knoppix.iso as an individual file inside the dvd iso filesystem. For instance:
That will copy your mp3 files to your dvd; if you mount the dvd, you will see your mp3 files.
Hope that helps...
