The os image is imbedded in a squashfs image so you are still stuff with
read only for that part.
It's OK, I am only interested in writing to the "root" filesystem.
UDF actually gets used for images over 4 GiB instead of iso8660.
Great, thanks for the tip. I forced UDF unconditionally in live.py
and then hit this problem:
UDF-fs: Partition marked readonly; forcing readonly mount
Then I found this in "man mkisofs":
"UDF support is currently in alpha status"
The following quote looks like a good summary:

"With mkisofs, I cannot write; with mkudffs, I apparently cannot
boot. Or is there a way out?
