It may be that this is what you are observing. kdar is (I guess) creating backup archives bigger (slices?) than 4GB, which growisofs can't process.
Yes, that's what's happening. If I limit KDar to 4000 MB, it works. If 4100 MB, it fails. So, is it possible to fix mkisofs? I can understand a 4 GB limit with a 32 bit system, but I'm running 64 bits here.
No, it is not possible. As I understand the issue, it is not a limitation of mkisofs, but of the iso filesystem itself. Ie, you can burn 9GB images, but the files inside can not be bigger than 4Gb. It is different. A solution would be to convince dar to use some other image format, like XFS, for instance. Or raw. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
