xorriso is not at fault. It only follows orders.

Yes, i know. But obviously there are older versions around.
For re-tinkering the image it would be helpful to know
the options used.

Oh. I was not aware of that one.

I just collected all xorrisofs options of
  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/tree/util/grub-mkrescue.in

Just stunning.
Has all this stuff actually been tested ?


> FAT would make it look like most common USB stick.

You mean a FAT partition with offset 512 bytes towards the
start of the ISO filesystem ?

But how to keep udev from recognizing the ISO PVD ?
(I think i need to find out by what udev rule this link
 gets created.)


Have a nice day :)
