Thanks Carl, I tried exactly what you said and after cdrwtool -d /dev/hdc -q churned away for around an hour (1x write speed) the mount command gave the error "trying to change type of multiple extents". I've seen this many times before and don't know what to do about it. Again, I remind you I am trying to write to DVD-RW media. I found this link of Dyson's progress... http://lists.suse.com:80/archive/packet-writing/2003-Nov/0001.html which I tried to imitate but had no luck.

After no success, i tried kernel 2.6.7-bk20 with the 2.6.7 packet patch found at http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/patches/packet/2.6/ and the dvd rw patches found at http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/patches/packet/2.6/extra/2.6.7/ and came up with the exact same errors. My modules.conf file looks like below when packet writing is a module ----------------------- bash-2.05b# cat /etc/modules.conf # This is for DVD options ide-cd ignore=hdb options ide-cd ignore=hdc options ide-cd ignore=hdd pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd alias block-major-97 pktcdvd ----------------------- However I've also tried building the kernel with it as part of the kernel instead of as a module and put the "alias block-major-97 pktcdvd" line in that file as well then before and after attempting to do this whole process with a reboot in between. At one point a few days ago (and I've been unable to repeat this and can't remember how I did it or in what kernel etc.) I was able to "mkudffs /dev/pktcdvd0" and it gave me some output similar to that above when I mkudffs'd the files, so it appeared as though I actually created the udf filesystem on the dvd-rw media, but I was never able to mount it with "mount /dev/pktcdvd0 /mnt/dvd -t udf -o rw,noatime" or as read only either. Does this sound like I was close? Am I chasing shadows? Please anyone help! I appreciate the response so far but unfortunately they do not help or I am missing some key ingrediant!

dvd-rw packet writing howto???
by Jeff Lia 21 Jul '04

Hi, If this is a duplicate message, please disregard, I am just subscribing and having a bit of trouble. I keep getting mailer-daemon returned messages and have lost track of how many times I've sent this. Moving on... I'm a bit new to this stuff and read through the last few years of threads dealing with all this packet writing stuff and have tried countless suggested approaches to get this working however due to my inexperience and chaos of versions I've found it very difficult to match patches and kernels and the like and thus have had zero success getting anything to fully work. I came across the "pond-weed" example a bit ago and that looked very promising but it was for the 2.4.22 kernel and after 3 attempts I still was unable to get that one working. Could someone please post a HOWTO describing which kernel is best to use and links to exactly the corresponding patches to install, what order, and perhaps even a full example output from start to finish leaving nothing to be questioned? Ideally I'd like to use as new a kernel as possible, but am willing to sacrifice newness for workingness. I've tried versions 2.4.22, 2.6.4, 2.6.6, 2.6.7, 2.6.7-bk15, 2.6.7-bk20 and even 2.6.8-rc1-bk4. The closest I've gotten to anything working was on 2.6.8-rc1-bk4 where I was able to: >pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/hdd ls -l /dev/pktcdvd0 brw-r--r-- 1 root > root 97, 0 Jul 16 16:52 /dev/pktcdvd0 but got this error when mounting: >mount /dev/pktcdvd0 /mnt/dvd -t udf -o rw,noatime mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/pktcdvd0, or too many mounted file systems (aren't you trying to mount an extended partition, instead of some logical partition inside?) Please help me out! I'll gladly give more detailed description of what I've tried so far etc. if someone thinks I am close and can help me fix my problem. At this point I've tried so many things that I am starting to get confused because I have so many patches that don't know what is what anymore! I am using a Toshiba CVC-R/-RW DRIVE model SD-R6112 and trying to write to DVD-RW media.

packet-writing and SuSE9.1/2.6.5-7
by The Wizard 01 Jul '04

01 Jul '04

All - I have SuSE 9.1/kernel 2.6.5-7.75-default. I installed the kernel sources, and patched with packet-2.6.5-rc3.patch p00002_dvd+rw.patch p00003_dvd-rw-packet.patch Had some problems with the compile, changed all occurrences of struct packet_command cgc; to struct cdrom_generic_command cgc; and then everything compiles OK. Load the module, do the typical setup pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/cdrecorder mount -t udf -o rw,auto,user,noatime /dev/pktcdvd0 \ /media/cdrecorder cat > /media/cdrecorder/testfile This is line 1 This is line 2 This is another line ^D cat /media/cdrecorder/testfile This is line 1 This is line 2 This is another line umount /media/cdrecorder pktsetup -d /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/cdrecorder eject And it all seems fine. But when I remount the CD-RW, the file is not there pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/cdrecorder mount -t udf -o rw,auto,user,noatime /dev/pktcdvd0 \ /media/cdrecorder cat > /media/cdrecorder/testfile cat: /media/cdrecorder/testfile: No such file or directory What am I missing here? The drive is an IDE CD_RW/DVD-ROM combo drive, Sony CRX810E. Machine is a Sony Vaio PCG-GRX500 laptop, Pentium4M with 512MB RAM, 30GB Toshiba HD, and Radeon 9500LY video.
