I unpacked the RHEL5 kernel src.rpm. The only patch applied to the vanilla 2.6.18 kernel for the isofs/ dir is the elimination of any reference to the "inode->i_blksize" struct member, but this is something they did across the board for all the file systems (it was an official patch applied to the kernel.org kernel a few days after 2.6.18) and has nothing to do with actual isofs issues. I made the same test (multi-extent 4.3 GB file) on kernel 2.4.33 and it passed OK on that too. So far I only tested loop-mounted isofs image files, not real DVD/BD-RE media. I'll do more test next week. If someone has a procedure to get the multi-extent Linux problem to manifest itself, please post it.
