i created for test ISO image with 6GB file in it using
mkisofs -rJ --iso-level 3 -o /path_to/file.iso .

worked fine.

tar tvf file.iso shows things fine.

even windoze under virtualbox with file.iso mounted as CD/DVD - works 
fine, and see 6GB file.

did mdconfig -a -t vnode -f file.iso and
mount_cd9660 /dev/md0 /mnt

and i see TWO 4 gigabyte files with the same name!


am i doing something wrong or it is a bug/lack of support?


with blu-ray disks it would be rather common to have >4GB files recorded.

of course i could write UFS disks, but i want them readable on non-unix 
OS.
