I wish I weren't so dense.  I thought the default packet size for
optical media was 2k - where do you get 32k?

Regardless, I can't get any of the UDF formatting tools to do anything
anyway 'mkudffs -r 0x0150 --media-type=worm /dev/hdc 359845' fails
silently with EROFS and EBADF; 'cdrwtool -d /dev/hdd -u 359845' runs a
bit, then fails with 'bad sector' IDE errors.

Is the comment about formatting the media an esoteric one or do you
know something about one of the tools I'm unaware of?
