Hi,

thank you for flying xorriso.

The growisofs bug is indeed well known. It was announced several
years ago to become fixed in the next release. Regrettably that
release never happened. Currently growisofs seems unmaintained.
Much of its knowledge was pulled into libburn, though, which
xorriso is using for burning optical media.

The volume id is a property of the filesystem, not of the
optical medium. xorriso command -volid (or -as mkisofs -V)
would set such an id, but it would produce an ISO 9660
filesystem rather than an UDF.

So you will probably have to use mkudffs option --vid= and/or
--lvid= to replace the default text "Linux UDF". I don't know
which of both would show up with e.g. Linux mount. Maybe you
even have to set the desired id by --fsid=, too.

Have a nice day :)
