Not too say you're .iso images can't be >2GB/4GB, but I'm pretty sure
the ISO9660 standard is limited to a 2GB maximum file size (for files
within the .iso). You must use UDF to burn files of greater size.
mkisofs(8) seems to support this, if only in alpha/hybrid stage:
-udf Include UDF support in the generated filesystem image.
UDF sup-
port is currently in alpha status and for this reason, it
is not
possible to create UDF only images.

My backup script split filesystem dumps to files with size of 4,37

didn't manage to do this task from FreeBSD console due to 2GB/4GB
filesize restrictions (growisofs).
Since when did FreeBSD (or growisofs) have a 2GB/4GB filesize limit? I
have burned 4.3GB DVDs several times.
I never had a problem writing huge files. But I did have a problem
subsequently reading it with Windows XP. Maybe the file size
restriction is a Windows thing.
