FreeBSD rincewind 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #0: Tue Oct 10 13:57:46 PDT 2006 hiredman@rincewind:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ODIN32 i386 I used tar to create several tar files. Then I used growfs from the dvd+rw-tools port to burn them to a dvd. The exact command I used was "growisofs -Z /dev/cd0 -r -J -speed=4 backups/". The disc mounts fine, but: rincewind# cd /cdrom && ls ls: 2006-10-11.all.tar: Value too large to be stored in data type 2006-10-05-apache-config.tar 2006-10-05-ssl.tar 2006-10-11.rincewind.all.sql rincewind# du -hs 2006-10-11.all.tar du: 2006-10-11.all.tar: Value too large to be stored in data type etc... A google search shows someone asking about this error message on -questions before. The only follow ups I saw suggested it was some kind of gnu tar -> bsd tar snafu. These tarballs were created on this very same freebsd and the errors show up with any command, not just tar. My best guess is that it has to do with using Juliet extensions when I burned it. Does anyone have some a definative answer? It is a remote machine so I cannot just pop another dvd in and try with a different set of options. Please CC me. I am not subscribed to -questions. -- luctor et emergo
