UDFtools stopped working
Here is my story. I installed udftools-1.0.0b2 on SuSE8.0 kernel 2.4.19 using the packet-2.4.19 patch yesterday. Everything went fine and I was able to use to the UDF file system on the CD-RW in the TEAC DW-28E combo drive. Later I tried around with the blocksize option since I wanted to use a 700MB CD-RW instead of the 650MB. That was probably my fault. When I interrupted "cdrwtools -d /dev/sr0 -q -m 36000 -t 4" via Ctrl-C the door of the drive was still locked. I issued an eject and the CD-RW came out together with an ioctl error message (which I do not recall, sorry). Since then I cannot use udftools anymore although my drive works well with other programs. The symptoms are as follows: cdrwtools -d /dev/sr0 -q just yields the output
using device /dev/sr0 set_options
and that's it. It is not accessing the drive at all. It just stops without _any_ action (not invoking mkduffs and so on). mount /dev/sr0 /media/dvd -t udf works fine but I cannot mount the DVD via the packet block device /dev/pktcdvd which yields the obviously common "can't read superblock error" (kernel message is pktcdvd: Unknown disc. No track?). I tried everything from rebooting, re-installing udftools and even building kernel/modules with the more recent packet-2.4.19-2 patch but this did not solve the problem. It seems to me that there is a lock file somewhere which prevents udftools from proper working. I really do not want to re-format the system partition to get rid of it. Any help is appreciated. regards, B.St. Bringfried Stecklum stecklum_at_tls-tautenburg.de Th"uringer Landessternwarte Tautenburg Sternwarte 5, D - 07778 Tautenburg, Germany Phone: +49-36427-863-54, FAX: +49-36427-863-29
