Pktcdvd and the AA kernel

linux udf vs. windows udf.
by Leo Przybylski 09 Feb '03

09 Feb '03

Hello, I can't seem to register with the linux-udf mailing list, so I hope no one minds if I post here. I've noticed in previous threads that there has been issues with udf on HP 100i DVD+RW drive which is exactly what I have. It seems that most everyone's solution was to upgrade to HP 200i DVD+RW, but I am determined to make it work. I've tried alternate solutions and have gotten it to work on linux. What I did was I created a 4.5GB udf file system on my hard disk with dd of=udffs if=/dev/zero bs=32k count=146850. When I write this the growisofs userland tools to the dvd+rw, I am then able to mount the disk with mount -t udf /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom -orw,noatime I can then mount files of various sizes with very little problem to the dvd+rw. My problem arises when I try to access my data on windows. I get an error "Cannot access function". Does anyone know what this would be about? Or how I can fix it? -Leo Przybylski

It works for the most part, its just that I screwed up that morning when setting it up. /dev/pktcdvd0 is the one I usually use.

Possible boundary condition bug
by Noah Roberts 05 Feb '03

05 Feb '03

When pktcdvd is given a pkt device that does not exist it just happily sets it up. The module then fails my locking up mount processes and then won't unload or reset. Obviously this is user error, but the system should handle it a little better. NR

2.5.xx / 2.6
by Some Bloke 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

Hello all, I'm trying to find patches for the newest 2.5.59 kernel. Any pointers? Interestingly, I saw something here http://kernelnewbies.org/status/Status-22-Jan-2003.html (look for UDF), that suggests new packet-cd patches have been merged into the main kernel code. However, when I downloaded 2.5.59 and looked for packet-cd options, I couldn't find any. What's going on? Any help appreciated.
