Hi,

Is it verified that "mbr_only" without "copy" does not work if the
ISO partition gets type 0x00 ?
The need for duplicating the EFI System Partition is a major drawback,
because those partitions can become quite large.
Since EFI forbids nested partitions but also considers a partition of
type 0x00 as inexistent, a mjg-ish layout with partition 2 of type 0xef
inside partition 1 of type 0x00 would be the better solution. If it
only wasn't such a hack.
Original grub-mkrescue layout is not a hack, but it provides no mountable
partition with the ISO filesystem in it.

It seems the type 0x83 is currently hardcoded in libisofs.
(As is 0xcd with -partition_offset 16.)
An API call and a xorrisofs parameter would be well possible.
But first i'd like to find out whether a nested-mjg layout is the better
solution for a mountable ISO partition anyway.
Have a nice day :)
