No, you can't partition optical disks. Roger Whittaker wrote:
I hope this is not a FAQ: if so I apologise, but I haven't been able to discover anything.
I'm interested in whether it's possible to create and use partitions on a disk which is accessed by pktseup.
If I do: pktsetup goo /dev/sr0
then: fdisk /dev/pktcdvd/goo
I can apparently create partitions:
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/pktcdvd/goo: 604 MB, 604700672 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 18 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 2048 = 32901120 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/pktcdvd/goo1 1 10 321174 83 Linux /dev/pktcdvd/goo2 11 18 257040 83 Linux
Is there any way to then actually see and use these? The devices goo1, goo2 don't actually exist, and creating them with mknod doesn't seem to help.
