Blu-ray
Burning
Linux
Burning blu-rays on Linux may be a bit more complex than you're used to.
Make sure to install the cdrtools
/cdrecord
repositories, since they aren't in normal repositories due to a sad bit of developer politics: https://launchpad.net/~brandonsnider/+archive/ubuntu/cdrtools

Split files into multiple pieces
You may find it useful to break a big file into pieces for storage on multiple blu-rays. The best method is to have 7z or rar do it for you.
If the file is already compressed data and it doesn't make sense to divide it further (such as giant mp4 streams?), just use split
in bash to divide them into pieces, and cat
to put them together again.

DVDisaster - Error Recovery Codes
Discs will eventually face bit rot over time. And if your data is extremely critical, you should employ error correction on your UDF images before burning them.
