If you check your dmesg you will see udffs complain that the device is not writable, and that it is falling back to read only mode. This may be because your drive is not standards compliant, and will not accept single sector writes. Using the pktcdvd driver might be able to work around that problem. Install the udftools package and use pktsetup to bind /dev/pktcdvd/0 to /dev/scd0 and then try to mount /dev/pktcdvd/0.
Hi, Phillip! ext1:~# ls /dev/pk* /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/pktcdvd1 /dev/pktcdvd2 /dev/pktcdvd3 ext1:~# pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/scd0 open packet device: No such device or address ... Suggestions as to what the issue might be? /dev/scd0 is the correct target, as I can to DAO-style writes to it. The drive itself is: ext1:~# dmesg | grep -i dvd hdc: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive Vendor: HL-DT-ST Model: DVDRAM GSA-4163B Rev: A103 sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 62x/62x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray ... I'm using IDE-SCSI to access the drive, since I was given to understand that it works best that way for UDF or Packet access. -- -- Michel Vaillancourt Wolfstar Systems
