> 2Gb. (even though I used the version of mkisofs which supports files >2Gb).
Which begs the question. Can a bootable DVD be created using UDF instead of ISO format? I understand that the UDF format supports files > 2Gb?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Another bootable DVD (Ignite) question
the poster of thread http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=952464 seems to have managed to create > 2Gb, but annoyingly does not state how!
If you do find out, please post the solution into the closure.

Solution/opt/ignite/data/scripts/examples/make_media_install
And this script can be used as an example of how to make DVD media.
If the actual archive file, on the DVD media, is smaller than 2.1 GB, there should be no problem.
Please note that while it is possible to build a DVD which contains an archive file larger than 2.1 GB (i.e. newer versions of mkisofs are happy to do this), only these versions (or later) of the Ignite-UX install kernels will be able to read such a file from the DVD media:
B.11.23 - Dec-2005 - C.6.5 (has patch PHKL_33110)
B.11.11 - Jun-2006 - C.6.8 (has patch PHKL_34153)
Please note that these new versions increase the maximum size of a file on custom DVD media from 2,147,483,647 bytes (2 GB) to 4,294,967,295 bytes (4 GB). If an archive file (for instance) grows beyond this 4 GB maximum, then
the install kernels will not be able to read it.
These limitations are (mostly) imposed by the ISO9660 standard, which the CDFS filesystem is based upon.
If you have inadvertently built a DVD which has this "file is too large for the install kernel" issue, then you'll probably see an error message of the form:

you like to push a shell for debugging purposes? (y/[n]):
