Are you claiming there is a problem when FreeBSD reads such
images or a problem with creating such images? What
programs are you using?
This sounds like a pretty unsurprising 32-bit truncation
bug: the filesystem structures in ISO9660 are all sector
numbers so 8TB should be the natural limit (4G sectors
times 2k bytes/sector).
