Sorry for the confusion. I can write a file of 4166629386 bytes to the dvd+r just fine, but cannot read it afterwards : ls: backup.bz2: Value too large to be stored in data type The dvddemystified website has an interesting pointer on it in the 'note section of chapter 3.3' : "FAT16 also has a 2 gigabyte file size limit" Could this be related ? regards, Hans Lambermont
