Very sad. :-( I'm totally lost. 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.

Re: UDF and CD-RW
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: 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 fail Formatting failed because of : Bad address Disc access statistics sector reads 0 (0 Kbyte) sector written0 (0 Kbyte) switches 0 When I try it with my -ide-scsi emulation setup I get the same error, but different sense data: Formatting (please be patient (+/- 10 minutes)) ...SCSI command error on /dev/cd1: Status=0x8c Sense data: Key=0x6 () Code=0x29 Qual=0x0 format unit returned : Bad address 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.

Re: UDF and CD-RW
Looking at the port makefile, one of the programs that is installed is called cdrw_format. Maybe you should try that. Roland 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 fail Formatting failed because of : Bad address Disc access statistics sector reads 0 (0 Kbyte) sector written0 (0 Kbyte) switches 0 earth# ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

UDF and CD-RW
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?
