It is read-only. -EROFS, if I remember correctly.

With Andy's dvd+rw patches:

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).

Andy states on his page:
"Linux 2.6 DVD+RW kernel support is planned in line with DVD+MRW 
kernel support. This [unfortunately] means that industry has to 
deliver a DVD+MRW capable unit first. Yes, the last sentence 
means that despite all the promises, there are no such units 
available on the market yet."

Csaba

writeable block device for dvd+rw under 2.6 kernel

2003-11-03 Thread Csaba Halasz
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
