That's not true, it is compiled as a module in the default kernel. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to mount DVDs.

Unfortunatley Sir, the file system for CDRW discs is usually UDF which is not compiled into the kernel by default. You will need to compile this module to enable you to read discs you have written using utilities such as Adaptec's CDRW program. Unfortunately the compilation of kernel modules or indeed the kernel itself is not covered by the free installation support.
So what do I do now? I know there's a UDF patch out there, but it
appears to be aimed at earlier kernels and seems to apply to burning.
Right now, I am primarily interested in reading UDF cds.

This is completely wrong. It is compiled as a module by default. All movie DVDs (that I know of) use udf as their file system, and I have had no problem using them. You can check with zcat /proc/config.gz|grep -i udf you should see CONFIG_UDF_FS=m This means that support for UDF File System is compiled as a (m)odule

I see this output line when I do as you suggest. (This is 8.1 though) Apparantly Chris is _not_ able to read UDF CDs Are they any different from UDF DVDs? Is the module there? Is the module loaded? Have you tried mounting the CD manually with the mount option -t udf? What error messages do you gen when you try that? Best regards :o) Johnny :o)

I haven't tried to mount a DVD yet, but mount man says UFD is supported.

The man page isn't generated dynamically. It doesn't know what's turned on in your kernel. You need to run the zcat command I gave to know for certain

On a SuSE 8.1 system I get this: martind@schoenfels:~> zcat /proc/config.gz|grep -i udf CONFIG_UDF_FS=m CONFIG_UDF_RW=y Perhaps the second line relates in some way to what SuSE support are saying? Hope this helps. Martin Drake Luxembourg

Thanks, Martin. I get the same readout, but I don,t know what the second
line means.

First, I would suggest NOT messing with your kernel for this problem. IIRC, the udf is different for DVDs and DirectCD disks (one is version 1.7, the other 1.3 IIRC). This may make the udf module not able to read DirectCD disks while reading DVDs, I don't know. My suggestion would be to use DirectCD to 'finish' the disks to an ISO9660 format, which you will be able to use without any problems. AFAIK, packet writing to a CD is still a future feature in Linux. HTH BTW, if the Linux udf will read DCDs version, Anders post should do the trick. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

Thanks Joe, I'll try that. The weird thing,though,is that as I was
trying numerous tweaks over the past couple weeks, I have been able to
mount a few of these cds (what I'm trying to do is copy mp3 files to my
new hard drive that I had burned and deleted because my old hard drive
was full). At one point, it seemed like it was mounting just fine, but I
don't remember how I got there. Then I had to repartition because I had
screwed up during installation (my partitions still aren't right, but
that's a whole other issue) and I haven't been able to mount a cd since
then. But since I've been able to mount a UDF cd occasionally, there
must be a way to do it.

Situation: cdrom will mount cds, but will not mount cds I burned under windows. Apparently, Adaptec Directcd uses UFD as its fs.
It is compiled as a module. Try this:
modprobe udf
mount -t udf
