I find this a little bit optimistic. For one, my empirical tests gave read errors when 4700000000 or more were written. Thus length should be no more than 4450 when isofs-overhead is regarded. Besides this, in the last couple of weeks I experience something 4GB related. I have started a thread on http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2006-Apr/0334.html but no result so far. :-( So I reduced the length to 4000mb
