All that works for me is reading the superblock with dumpe2fs.  It might
also have something to do with how ISO 9660 is designed specifically for
CDs and their different media access technique (if it's not just for
increased efficiency). Spent a bit at Google, and it there other
success/failure reports about burning ext2 to CD.
