could you enable udffs write support,
it's the latest cvs thanks to the packet-cd/dvd patch (which is probably non
usable without udf fs write support)
and it can be quite useful with DVD+RW
we'll have to package also the udf tools:
to be able to format DVD+RW or pktcdvd media and the pktcdvd utils are also in
the udf-tools package
and one more question,
can you take a look at the device-mapper patches (ZY*.patch)

best,
