• Create an ISO from a directory:

mkisofs -o {{filename.iso}} {{path/to/source_directory}}

• Set the disc label when creating an ISO:

mkisofs -o {{filename.iso}} -V "{{label_name}}" {{path/to/source_directory}}

• Create an ISO image with files larger than 2GiB by reporting a smaller apparent size for ISO9660 filesystems:

mkisofs -o {{filename.iso}} -allow-limited-size {{path/to/source_directory}}
