Re: current state of packet writing ??

Glenn wrote: Hello Jens and all, OK that did the trick for UDF. I had already compiled the test7 kernel with your patch and just made the udf module and did the modprobe thing. No problems yet. I was also able to format a CDRW just fine. My question/problem is in getting the new device to be recognized. I created it: mknod /dev/pktcdvd0 b 97 0 and verified that it existed after this problem: # ./pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/scd0 packet open: No such device [root@h000094b6613f /packages/udf/tools] I also get this when I tried to mount it, recognizing that this is probably foolish since it didn't set it up, but don't understand the file system not being supported since the module "udf" is installed and active. # mount -t udf /dev/pktcdvd0 /mnt/cdr mount: fs type udf not supported by kernel [root@h000094b6613f /dev] Appreciate any help that can be offered. Thanks, Glenn -----

You have an out-of-date UDF tree. For use with packet writing, current CDRW branch of the UDF tree is recommended.

Probably should have mentioned that the UDF page to go to is

http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-udf/
