My backup script split filesystem dumps to files with size of 4,37 GB (4
588 544 kB). It's just an optimal size to fill out DVDs. At this moment
I have to burn them from windows via smb-link becuase I didn't manage to
do this task from FreeBSD console due to 2GB/4GB filesize restrictions
(growisofs). I'm using freeware CDBurnerXP to burn my backups
(ISO9660/UDF/Joliet), and they mount without problems on my FreeBSD BOX,
files are fully readable too. However, burning gigabytes of data via
slow (about 3.5MB/s) SMB network is just annoing. Is there *any* way to
burn DVDs with files>4GB from FreeBSD console?
cheers!
