With some effort libisofs could learn
to produce double-LBA images: Double
superblock, double tree, double boot image.
Offset must be at least 64 kB to give room
for the first superblock.

This should work with both device files
and no special mount options.

So that effort seems not yet justified.

Back to the original topic:

Are there any other meaningfully adjustable
values within isohybrid ?


Have a nice day :)
