mkisofs and burning DVDs

[Chong Yu Meng]

Hi all,

I've been trying to burn the latest Fedora updates to DVD, and so far,
I've got 3 "coasters". The problem I am having is that the resulting DVD
always has problems with the ultra long filenames. 

Here is the command I use to create the ISO image:

$ mkisofs -v -l -r -max-iso9660-filenames -no-bak -o
updates.iso /tmp/x86_64

I mount it loopback and check, and the filenames look OK to me. 

$ sudo mount -o loop updates.iso /mnt/tempimage

Then I burn to DVD with this command:

$ sudo growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=updates.iso

When I read the resulting DVD in Windows, I get all the filenames in
uppercase, and some are conflated. 

I can read the DVD in Linux, but when I try to copy the files over to
the hard disk, I get "Input/output errors" for some files. I suspect it
could be because the filenames are too long.

Could someone send me the proper syntax for the mkisofs and/or the
growisofs command? 

Thanks in advance !
