It works just fine for CD-R and DVD+-R/W. Are we talking about the same thing? I need a writeable _block device_. I have _no problems_ using cdrecord or growisofs (w/ poor man's access method).

writeable block device for dvd+rw under 2.6 kernel
Hi! If I understand correctly, the use of ide-scsi under 2.6 is deprecated. However, I am unable to write to /dev/hdx directly under 2.6.0-test8. This works with the patched ide-scsi and sr_mod. I have looked into ide-cd.c and I think it only supports writing for dvd-ram. Am I missing something? Greets, Csaba
