Thanks to the hints I received so far. However, creating a tar archive
and burning this on the DVD is not what I want. I really would like to
be able to browse the DVD and extract individual files easily without
having to untar a 4.5GB file first. Therefore I am trying to find the
correct options for mkisofs. My last attempt was
/opt/sfw/bin/mkisofs -r -f -joliet-long -o /tmp/image.iso /Carrier
Note, I have previously symbolically linked all dirs of interest to
/Carrier.
ln -s /home /Carrier
ln -s /opt/FrontBase/Backups /Carrier
...
However, the above options do not do what I want. I get
H005.M;1 for
/Carrier/projects/Bentheim/BentPoolBundle/
PurchaserAppointmentAcceptionRecord.m
(PurchaserAppointmentAbnahmeController.m)
Using PROCE000.M;1 for
/Carrier/projects/Bentheim/BentPoolBundle/
ProceedingsSupplierController.m (ProceedingsController.m)
Using PROCE000.H;1 for
/Carrier/projects/Bentheim/BentPoolBundle/
ProceedingsSupplierController.h (ProceedingsController.h)
Using PROCE001.M;1 for
/Carrier/projects/Bentheim/BentPoolBundle/ProceedingsController.m
(ProceedingsCarrierTargetController.m)
Using PROCE001.H;1 for
/Carrier/projects/Bentheim/BentPoolBundle/ProceedingsController.h
(ProceedingsCarrierTargetController.h)
Using PROCE002.M;1 for
/Carrier/projects/Bentheim/BentPoolBundle/
ProceedingsCarrierTargetController.m (ProceedingsCarrierController.m)
Using PROCE002.H;1 for
/Carrier/projects/Bentheim/BentPoolBundle/
ProceedingsCarrierTargetController.h (ProceedingsCarrierController.h)
Using PROCE003.M;1 for
/Carrier/projects/Bentheim/BentPoolBundle/
ProceedingsCarrierController.m (ProceedingPolterController.m)
The generated iso is 100% useless for me!!!
Any idea?
Thanks,
Andreas
