<note>
<para>In order to have working files larger than 4.38GB in
your compilation, an UDF/ISO-9660 hybrid filesystem must be
created by passing additional <option>-udf -iso-level
3</option> parameter to &man.mkisofs.8; and all related
programs (i.e., &man.growisofs.1;). This is required only
when creating an ISO image file, or writing files directly
to a disk. Disk created this way must be mounted as an UDF
filesystem with &man.mount.udf.8; utility, so it will be
usable only on an UDF aware Operating System,otherwise it
will look as if it contains corrupted files.</para>
<para>To create a such ISO file:</para>
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>mkisofs -R -J -udf -iso-level 3 -o <replaceable>imagefile.iso</replaceable> <replaceable>/path/to/data</replaceable></userinput></screen>
<para>To burn files directly to a disk:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>growisofs -dvd-compat -udf -iso-level 3 -Z <replaceable>/dev/cd0</replaceable> -J -R <replaceable>/path/to/data</replaceable></userinput></screen>
<para>When you have an ISO image containing large files
already inside, no additional options are required for
&man.growisofs.1; to burn that image on a disk.</para>
<para>Also, be sure that you have an up-to-date version of
<filename role="package">sysutils/cdrtools</filename> (which
contain &man.mkisofs.8;), as the older ones does not
contain large files support. If you experience troubles
please move to the development package, i.e., <filename
role="package">sysutils/cdrtools-devel</filename> and read
&man.mkisofs.8; manual page.</para>
