It now appears that I may have a problem with the CD-RW drive, although I have not had any problems using it to write CD-R media. I plugged in my FireWire DVD-RW/CD-RW drive, formatted a different CD-RW disk and was able to write to it using packet writing. So, I can in fact write to CD-RW media successfully using a different drive. The only restriction seems to be that I must do the writing as root; even if I mount the /dev/pktcdvd1 device using
mount -t udf -o rw,noauto,nosuid,user,exec /dev/pktcdvd1 \ /media/dvdrecorder
and it shows up as
/dev/pktcdvd1 on /media/dvdrecorder type subfs \ (rw,nosuid,nodev,fs=udf,user=markea)
but it does not let me write or copy files as a regular user, only as root.
If you run chmod 777 /media/dvdrecorder as root after mounting the file system, any user should then be allowed to write to the disc. (You only have to do this once for each disc after creating the file system.) The user=markea option only means that user markea mounted the filesystem, it doesn't give that user any additional access rights. -- Peter Osterlund - petero2@telia.com http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340
