hi there, I have 1 questions about packetwriting and 1 remark /question: 1 Is it possible to use packetwritiing with cd-r media like DirectCD can? I recall dvd+r media is not supported. 2 I use(d) Fedora Core 2 with the packet patch applied to the latest Fedora 2.6.9 kernel and patched udftools, have a nec 3500ag dvd+/-r(w) dual layer writer and a Celeron 2.4 Ghz 512 pc. I can not write to dvd+rw directly, got: #mkudffs /dev/cdrom trying to change type of multiple extents And when using a otherwise formatted udf dvd+rw disc: # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom -t udf -o rw,noatime mount: blok-apparaat /dev/cdrom is schrijf-beveiligd, alleen-lezen aankoppelen (= block device is write only error in dutch) If I route it through pktcdvd everything works as expected: 1 'pktsetup nec /dev/cdrom' 2 mkudffs /dev/pktcdvd/nec' 3 'mount -o rw,noatime -t udf /dev/pktcdvd/nec /mnt/cdrom' 4 write some file(s) to /mnt/cdrom However today Fedora released kernel 2.6.10-1.8_FC2 and to my surprise it 1 allowed a simple 'mkudffs /dev/cdrom' and 2 already had pktcdvd module. So is this Fedora specific or has the pktcdvd driver become standard in kernel 2.6.10? And has something dvd+r(w) related changed between 2.6.9 and 10 that allows dvd+rw discs to be used as standard blockdevices with blocksize >= 2k without a packetdriver again or is this also Fedora related? -- Jeroen Beerstra jeroen.beerstra@gmail.com
