This contains two incorrect claims:
1) Mkisofs does not have such a limitation, the
ISO-9660 standard _does_ have a different limitation:
The ISO-9660 standard limits the number of _parent_
directories (not just directories) to 2 ^ 16. The
limitation of the number of parent directories is
rarely hit.....
2) As mkisofs does not have a limitation and as only DOS
enforces the ISO-9660 standard limit, I see no problem.
If you like to go beyond the ISO-9660 standard limitations, I recommend you
to read the mkisofs man page and to use the "-no-limit-pathtables" option.
