 |
|
Hello,
I'm using K3B 0.11.16 with kde 3.3.0.
This is what growisofs --version dumps:
| Code: |
* growisofs by <appro@fy.chalmers.se>, version 5.17,
front-ending to mkisofs: mkisofs 2.01 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
|
Here's what's happening. K3B cannot write DVD's using my drive, which is a Plextor 708A. It can, however, write CD's with it. I'm forced to make DVD iso's, and then use growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd blah.iso instead.
In K3B I drop the files, and it clearly shows in the bar on the bottom that it's below the size of a full DVD (barely). Make the ISO. Use growisofs, and something akin to this happens:
| Code: |
Executing 'mkisofs /home/DELETED/temp/DELETED-dvd.iso | builtin_dd of=/dev/dvd obs=32k seek=0'
mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type. File /home/DELETED/temp/DELETE-dvd.iso is too large - ignoring
Total translation table size: 0
Total rockridge attributes bytes: 0
Total directory bytes: 0
Path table size(bytes): 10
|
Oookay. I was close to the limit, so I try removing a 95MB file. I still get the same problem. If I use -overburn , I get something similar to this:
| Code: |
$ growisofs -dvd-compat -overburn -Z /dev/dvd ~/temp/DELETED-dvd.iso Executing 'mkisofs /home/DELETED/temp/DELETED-dvd.iso | builtin_dd of=/dev/dvd obs=32k seek=0'
mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type. File /home/sgtphou/temp/lastsam-dvd.iso is too large - ignoring
Total translation table size: 0
Total rockridge attributes bytes: 0
Total directory bytes: 0
Path table size(bytes): 10
/dev/dvd: "Current Write Speed" is 6.1x1385KBps.
Max brk space used 21690
174 extents written (0 MB)
builtin_dd: 176*2KB out
/dev/dvd: flushing cache
/dev/dvd: closing track
/dev/dvd: closing disc
|
And what happens is that it begins to write to the DVD, and immediately bails out, resulting in a wasted DVD. These things aren't cheap, I've blown 3 of them already.
So what's going on, this is EXTREMELY frustrating.
UPDATE: This also happens as root, without -dvd-compat, and it is also happening on my system at work, a totally different system. |

Well I got past the size errors, I have to do -Z /dev/whatever=blah.iso ...
However here at work I now get different problems:
| Code: |
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=FC2-i386-DVD.iso
Executing 'builtin_dd if=FC2-i386-DVD.iso of=/dev/dvd obs=32k seek=0'
|
But that's not related to this, just wanted to mention I found the solution to the original problem. We already suspect this drive to have problems anyway... |

I have exactly the same problem. Try to burn a DVD and it bails out before writing anything. I can keep trying to add sessions but it does the same thing.
I used to have DVD burning working, but I haven't burned any DVDs in over 6 months. One thing, I am on a new kernel, 2.6.7 where I used to be on 2.6.1-mm when it worked before. I still have the old kernel around so I might give it a try. Also, upgrading to the latest dvd+rw-tools didn't change anything.

I have the same problem however it seems to happen only when burning only one file on a dvd. I'm not sure what the problem is using an earlier kernel did not seem to help and as zephyr pointed out 5.21 growfsiso doesn't help either.
Any ideas?

this comes from mkisofs ufs implementation as "man mkisofs" reveals:
| Code: | | UDF support is currently in alpha status and for this reason, it is not possible to create UDF only images. |
therefore the iso9660 filesize limit of 2gb still applies plus it needs some more space on the disk for the filesystem.
the solution is to emerge udftools and do it by hand ie:
| Code: |
dd bs=4k if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/img.img count=1130000
mkudffs /tmp/img.img
mount -o loop /tmp/img.img /mnt/iso
|
then you can copy your files on the image and burn it with:
| Code: |
growisofs -Z /dev/hdd=/tmp/img.img
|
the downside is of course the needed temporary space but you could harass the mkisofs maintainers to fix their implementation  |

Tx Shado23 for the tip. Burning 4gig file as I'm typing this.
Much Thx
