Max File Size for Images to make bootable dvd
Submitted by camerons on 9 September, 2008 - 14:36.
I'm having an issue attempting to import images to create bootable dvd. I have an image called train which contains train.img + train.002. If I import either of these and create a network boot disk it will work fine, but if I import both (either 1/time or selected group) during the Compressing Ext2 file system stage I will receive "Error reading file" when altiris attempts to Compress file 'rootfs.gz' this only happen when I try to use booth.
From what I can see this has something to do with the total size of the image. Each image file is 2gb even.
I was hoping someone might be able to tell me if this is the case or if there is something else I am missing.
Thanks,
Total file size
Total file size may not exceed 2.4 gb.
Bigger then 2.4 gives the error you mention.

Thanks! That was my problem
Thanks! That was my problem with my image, I had it much too big. 3gb. Thanks for solving my problem!
I'm confused I looked at a
I'm confused I looked at a network boot disk I built with altiris and it was two parts part1 = 2.1gb & part 2 = 1.8gb and it has worked fine, but when I copy the same files into a configuration now I get the error. Why would Altiris allow the files one time but not another?
Removing Files from RAM disk
Hello,
BDC has a greate feature that allows files not to be loaded in the RAMDISK.
So, in Boot Disk Creator when you create at a configuration create a folder named "." (no quotes and yes it is a dot) under the configuration name. Add your image file at this location and might as well add rdeploy.
The . (dot folder) tells Boot Disk Creator no to load the files into RAMDISK. When you boot from CD do a search for the image files and you should be good to go.
