I have a folder with ~22k subfolders on it, and each subfolder can have more subfolders, up to a depth of ~7.
So I wanted to make it a single file, but not a rar or similar file, because decompressing it could take a long time. I wanted a .iso because I could mount it and access only what I need, without having to extract everything.
I used this command genisoimage --iso-level 4 -o folder.iso "folder"
The folder size was 21.7 GB but after turning it in a iso it's 43.2 GB? Is this expected?
