CD-RWs (in RW mode) use the udf filesystem, which is also used by DVDs.
There is a Linux udf driver in testing right now; you can get info at
trylinux.com. They offer source and a precompiled module that loads
into kernel 2.2.1. The last time I checked (a week ago or so), it could
read files but not write them. Writing seems to be a lower priority
since they seem to be primarily interested in DVDs, but they say it WILL
happen.
