But surely you could test it with Solaris?But can a file span multiple extents? The way I read the comment Gary quoted, it's legal to have an image that is over 2GB in size, as long as each file inside that image is no larger than 2GB.Careful - the comment was about mkisofs, although it was in the kernel source. It definitely says file*systems* >2GB are legal, otherwise it says mkisofs can't handle single *files* >2GB - that doesn't necessarily mean they're illegal. The comment may also be old and no longer true for current versions of standards.It is hard to implement things in mkisofs that cannot be tested.
-- E. Robert Bogusta It seemed like a good idea at the time
