has somebody win to use cdrw with filesystem udf?
The cd is well formatted because i can use it under windows.
the unit under linux is scd0
first i try to mount it: mount -t udf /dev/scd0 /mnt
but it tell that /dev/scd0 is write protected
i chmod 0666 /dev/scd0 same result
i install (makedev) /dev/pktcdvd and try
pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/scd0
result:open packet device: No such device or address
I don't know what to do now
Are you mounting the CD-RW in a drive that's capable of burning CD's?
I don't have a burner on my Linux box, but certainly when I create a
udf CD on the Windows box I can mount it on the Linux box , and of
course it mounts as read only.
I can't see anything in the docs I have that says writing to a udf fs
is not supported, even if you have a CD drive which is capable of
writing. I do note that there is no mkfs.udf command in /sbin, which
provides a powerful clue that perhaps you can only write to such disks
using a burner program.
I've only found UDF to be read-only not writable. However, using CD
burning software, what I do is to blank a CD-RW then write to it is
ISO9660 as though it were a CD-R rather than CD-RW. As I use it for
backups, writing a lot at once is what I want to do. There is not the
convenience of adding a single file to it as with UDF, but this fits my
needs.
I would like UDF write support, but have not found any.
