17 I have mounted the disc using the udf filesystem and then I have
18 recreated the iso from the mounted disc using mkisofs with the same
19 arguments. This time at least the new iso has the same size as the
20 original one (while with dd and readcd the obtained iso is a little
21 bigger). But the iso is still not identical to the original one.
