Version: 1.0.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux Matthias Heinz <mh@familie-heinz.name> reports that "if you wanna add a file bigger than 4gb to a data dvd k3b wont let you and displays a error dialog instead saying that this is not allowed." (http://bugs.debian.org/444856) Is there a reason for this limitation? Bug 146244 mentions that this was fixed in some version of genisofs. Matthias is using genisoimage 1.1.6 Francois
WORKSFORME. I regularly burn files ~= 4.4GB without any problem.
Created attachment 21738 [details] Screenshot of the Well, i reported the bug to the debian bug tracker and here i am to show you the dialog box. The file i test with was a 4,5GB test file i created before. I took a look at k3bdataurladdingdialog.cpp:327 "else if( isFile && (unsigned long long)statBuf.st_size >= 0xFFFFFFFFULL ) {" 0xFFFFFFFFULL in dec is 4294967295. Looks for me like a file size limit.
Created attachment 21935 [details] 4gb limit fix This patch removes 4Gb check. Works for me. Please, test.
I can confirm that it works fine both on i386 and amd64.
Next version of K3b will do this properly, i.e. if a proper genisoimage or mkisofs version is installed you can add 4gb files, otherwise you cannot.
*** Bug has been marked as fixed ***.
Could you precise what is "a proper genisoimage or mkisofs version"? I have mkisofs 2.1.1a23 and it donesn't work for me.
Oh, i have the feeling this is some fscking problem with cdrecord. I run Debian and mkisofs is just a dummy transition package for genisoimage and i've got genisoimage 1.1.6 and everybody works fine. (could somebody slap JS for this, please?)
