  Hi All!
 
 I'm trying to use packet writing software on FreeBSD. The FreeBSD 
 counterpart of the Linux udftools package is the udfclient port. 
 However, I cannot use it. It does not allow me to create a new 
 filesystem, telling me that I need to packet-format first. But I don't 
 know how to do that. Can you please help?

Looking at the port makefile, one of the programs that is installed is
called cdrw_format. Maybe you should try that.

Looks like it is the right program. But it does not work. I have 
ide-scsi emulation enabled on my CDRW drive, so it is named /dev/cd0. I 
have a blank disc in the drive (created with cdrecord speed=4 -v 
blank=fast).

Here are the results:

earth# cdrw_format -D -F /dev/cd0
Opening device /dev/cd0

Device dentifies itself as : SCSI   busnum = 0, target = 0, lun = 0

CD-RW has a capacity of 359847 blocks (736966656 bytes)

Formatting (please be patient (+/- 10 minutes)) ...SCSI command 
error on /dev/cd0: Status=0x8c

Sense data: Key=0x0 () Code=0x0 Qual=0x0
format unit returned : Bad address

When I try it with my -ide-scsi emulation setup I get the same error,
but different sense data:

I've looked at the source for cdrw_format, but couldn't find anything
obviously wrong with it.

I wonder why there is no documentation for this program? Probably there 
are human beings using it but probably they are very special persons 
with special knowledge. I could not find useful postings about this 
topic (CDRW and packet writing) in mailing lists. Very sad. :-( I'm 
totally lost.

Most probably because the developer didn't need it or never got around
to making any.

Packet writing seems to never have gained much popularity in the UNIX
world. My guess would be that multigigabyte harddisks and the
availability of DVD-rewriters has something to do with it. I currently
use dvd+rw-tools (growisofs) to burn DVD's.
