It seems easiest to extend test "check_multiextent.sh".
(The main obstacle which gave me riddles was missing TZ=CUT when i
created multiextent_joliet.right.)

The Joliet test ISO is significantly smaller than the old one for
Rock Ridge:
  -rw-r--r-- 1 . . 524288 Jun 17  2020 test/data/multi_extent_8k.iso
  -rw-r--r-- 1 . . 122880 Mar 27 10:56 test/data/multi_extent_8k_joliet.iso
But strangely du says that it uses more disk space on ext4:
  100     test/data/multi_extent_8k.iso
  120     test/data/multi_extent_8k_joliet.iso
I guess this is the effect of sparse file storing. But i am not aware that
i ever gave multi_extent_8k.iso a special treatment back in 2018.
Is git known to work with sparse file generating seeks when checking out
files ?


The old multi_extent_8k.iso is nominally so much larger, because i
obviously did not apply space saving options when creating it:
64+ KiB are used for multi-session TOC emulation. 300 KiB are trailing
padding against the Linux TAO CD bug.

I could create it freshly with 122880 bytes. Shall i do ?


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
