Re: mkisofs CD/DVD size question

["Maurizio Caloro" <mauric%gmx.ch@localhost>]

Thanks for reply, 
i have found the solution to do this but now mkisofs creats only one  
(650MB or 4500MB iso file) and finish. the hole folder structure are 10GB, i 
dont see any switch for "hole sturcture from folder"

pluto# tar -c  mkisofs -R -split-output -stream-media-size -o backup.iso 
/usr/Data

it's possible to ask any help.
Thanks in advance
MC
