Q: large files in iso9660 ?

["P. Christeas" <p_christ _at_ xxxxxx>]

Hi, 
I've tried to create a disk (DVD) which contains a single 3.8GB file. The 
creation (mkisofs) worked and the disk's TOC reads 3.8GB. However, the 
filesystem reads as if one ~9MB file only exists. 
I guess large files in isofs may be out of spec. 

Q: What's the file size limit in iso9660?
Q: Is there any chance the negative number (although out of spec) may be 
correctly interpreted (mount option) ?

Thanks.
