I need to burn a ISO (3.3GB in size) using Brasero using my Ubuntu machine, however when I try to do it which the ISO is saved in my Portable USB Drive with NTFS file system, Ubuntu 64-bit says:

Value too large for defined data type

Is there a work around for this, so I can burn ISO into disk?

$uname -a



Linux ubuntu-desktop 3.5.0-23-generic #35~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 25 17:13:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And i tried to create a large file:

username:~/temp$ dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=1048576 count=51205120+0 records in

5120+0 records out

5368709120 bytes (5.4 GB) copied, 92.9742 s, 57.7 MB/s

The disk Burner softwares do not support burning of huge images .This at least applies to Brasero and K3B.

There seems to be a workaround.Run these commands one by one

dd if=/dev/zero of=file.iso bs=1024 count=4589800

mkudffs file.iso  #your filename here

mkdir /media/tmpdvd # if you haven't already a directory

mount -o loop -t udf file.iso /media/tmpdvd

cp big_file /media/tmpdvd

umount /media/tmpdvd

Then try to burn the file using GUI or terminal as per your choice.

If the above method dosen't work, see the output of

ulimit -f

if it is not unlimited, run this command

ulimit -f unlimited
