I'm probably not the only one around here who has a CD writer that's capable of handling rewritable CD's. The CD Writing and CDROM Howto's don's say anything about them, though. I assume that the way to use them is to put one in the drive and then call mkfs - right? But what would be the right parameters for mkfs?
CD-RWs (in RW mode) use the udf filesystem, which is also used by DVDs. There is a Linux udf driver in testing right now; you can get info at trylinux.com. They offer source and a precompiled module that loads into kernel 2.2.1. The last time I checked (a week ago or so), it could read files but not write them. Writing seems to be a lower priority since they seem to be primarily interested in DVDs, but they say it WILL happen. -- Martin Jackson: mjackson@deskmedia.com ///////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Computer & Information Science Major Minnesota State University, Mankato \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\/////////////////// My other computer is also a Linux box! - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
