Using UDF DVD on AIX 5.3

I was trying to copy a 2.5GB mksysb onto a 5.3 lpar to add as a NIM resource. The DVD mounted fine but I could not see any files within the mount point. I thought the media was bad so I tried again with a DVD-R disk but the same thing happened.

I decided to split the file up into 1024MB chunks and burn onto an ISO. This worked fine so the problem must be with the UDF format.

Has anyone successfully written a >2GB file to DVD in UDF format. I suspect there may be a patch for this but I'm not sure where to look.

Thanks,

NAME

       dares - rescue files from damaged CDs and DVDs

SYNOPSIS

       dares -i image -s path [-h2i h2i_file] [-a] [-m] [-llogfile]
       dares-qt [-i image] [-s path] [-h2i h2i_file] [-a] [-m] [-llogfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Dares  scans  a	CD/DVD image or a CD/DVD and tries to find files. It does not depend on filesystem information, but instead uses the Magic
       library to identify files. Doing it this way Dares can recover files even when the filesystem (ISO-9660 or UDF) on the disc is damaged  and
       cannot be mounted anymore.

       Dares can use H2cdimage (ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/ctsi/h2cdimage.zip) files to rescue data from heavily damaged optical discs.

OPTIONS

       -i     CD/DVD image file or device.

       -s     Directory where the rescued  files shall be stored.

       -h2i   Optional h2i file for the CD/DVD image.

       -a     Store all found files without any user interaction.

       -m     Use Mime types instead of a description.	-l Logfile (default: dares.log)
