This is something I've never quite understood, not being a
physical-layer guru.  It seems quite arbitrary that one cannot
packet-write a UDF-2.x filesystem on to write-once media under Linux.
I know I can't, because I've tried every piece of documentation out
there to do so with both CD and DVD media.  However, I would *love* to
be proven wrong.

I think this is a huge opportunity we're missing here - not everyone
wants to have a monster floppy, that's what we have thumb drives for
any more.  However, it would be a huge win for forensic and logging
uses to be able to do just what the detractors say - write to the FS
normally, and if a file is unlinked, that space can't be recovered but
the file is permanently recoverable.  Poor-man's WORM.
