Hello,
beginning with kernel-image-2.6.8-3-k7_2.6.8-16sarge5, I am no longer able to
write files to a DVD-RAM with udf-filesystem which are bigger than 1G. When
copying files greater than the mentioned size to the DVD-RAM, I get the error
message "File size exceeded". Copying smaller files works.
This problem also exists after upgrading to the latest kernel-image
2.6.8-15sarge6.
When reverting back to the old kernel (kernel-image-2.6.8-3-k7_2.6.8-16sarge4)
or when formatting the medium with an ext2-filesystem, the problem
disappears, so this problem seems to be related to the udf-filesystem.
I did a Google search and found a posting with the same problem which seems to
affect Debian Etch testing only:
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.user/browse_thread/thread/1eab67989a25fe8a/b3c075459da58131?lnk=gst&q=file+size+exceeded+1GB
I did not find anything related in the Debian Bug-tracker.
Am I missing a parameter or option to be able to write files greater than 1GB
to an udf-filesystem after upgrading?
I am using this DVD-drive: HL-DT-STDVD-RAM GSA-H20L
ulimit -a:
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 1024
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) unlimited
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
Please CC me as I am not subscribed to the list.
Thank you for your attention.
