hi there,

Is this problem with pktwriting in newer kernels still not fixed?

from dmesg:

UDF-fs: Partition marked readonly; forcing readonly mount
UDF-fs INFO UDF 0.9.8.1 (2004/29/09) Mounting volume 'LinuxUDF',
timestamp 2007/06/25 00:57 (1078)

mount -o remount,rw,noatime /dev/pktcdvd/<devname> does the trick.

$uname -a
Linux neo.lokaal.net 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 #1 SMP Tue Jun 12 14:56:37 EDT
2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

One additional question: is or isn't it nescessary to use pktsetup
with dvd+rw media (pktsetup <devname> /dev/scd0)? IIRC this was only
manditory with cdrw media, dvd+rw hard+software would take care of
proper packetwriting, but it has been a while since I last used
packetwriting. Having huge problems with the dvd+rw I use as an emery
backup for some very important files.
