Hi there,
is there still a 2 GB limit on file size? I would like to try
to write a 9660 filesystem on a DVD disk.

Thanks,

++pac.

Unless someone has fixed it, dump9660/mk9660 is limited to 2GB,
so unless you make the image with something else you're screwed
anyway.  I talked a bit about going back and fixing it a few
months ago, but since Russ and I wrote dump9660 I have moved to
using Venti-like things for doing backups.
