Hello,
DVD-RAM disks previously made with a Linux system can
no longer be mounted in RW mode. For some reason, as
indicated by the error message from the mount command,
the disks are detected as being write-protected (which
is not the case). To be able to write to these disks,
the mount command must be issued again with the "-o remount"
option.
The commands given are as follows. Although the file
type in this example is ext2, the same behavior is seen
also with the udf file type.
# modprobe ide-cd
# hdparm -d1 -X udma4 -k1 /dev/hde
# mount -t ext2 -o rw,noatime /dev/hde /cdrom
mount: block device /dev/hde is write-protected, mounting read-only
# mount -t ext2 -o remount,rw,noatime /dev/hde /cdrom
Now the DVD-RAM disk can be written normally, but there should
be no need for the second mount command.
The kernel log for this command sequence seems to show nothing abnormal:
kernel: hde: ATAPI 39X DVD-ROM DVD-R-RAM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(66)
kernel: Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
kernel: hde: CHECK for good STATUS
kernel: cdrom: hde: mrw address space DMA selected
kernel: cdrom open: mrw_status 'not mrw'
Furthermore, if I attempt to check the unmounted DVD-RAM disk with
e2fsck, the drive is still reported as read-only:
# e2fsck -p /dev/hde
e2fsck: Read-only file system while trying to open /dev/hde
Disk write-protected; use the -n option to do a read-only
check of the device.
However, as I indicated above, the disk is not write-protected.
I am reporting this problem on the lkml because of a hint
that I discovered at this link:
http://lists.opensuse.org/packet-writing/2006-10/msg00000.html
Although this problem does not involve packet-writing, it may
be related to the cdrom code.
The problem I reported in the above link was related to UDF filesystem.
AFAIR, my DVD-RW have been formatted with "mkduffs --media-type=dvd",
which toggled a read-only flag at the FS level. I reformatted this DVD-RW
with "mkudffs --media-type=dvdram" and the problem was gone.
I'm afraid this won't help you...
