- mounting external cd-recorder in rw mode
- Posted by Marek on March 6th, 2004
I'm trying to connect external HP CD-Writer 8200a. With CD-R it's
works OK. But if I put CD-RW media and try to mount:
mount -t udf /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom1
it mounted always in read only mode. Even if I place additional -o rw
to the mount command to force read/write mode - it says: "block device
/dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only".
But I know it's not write-ptotected - just worked with it on windoze.
How can I mount CD-RW to read/write files?
Thanks in advance,
Marek

What you need is packet writing. That is barely supported.
AFAIK there was a project to support RW 'a'la'windows' but
never delivered anything.

Yes exactly. I wanna write to udfs (packets)
Do this means than Linux user has no ways to use rewritable media?
As for me it's sounds strange. Is nowbody more use cd-rw? Only me :-)

UDF packet writing is less useful than you might think because A)
there's a lot of overhead, much more than multisession B) you can't
delete things you've already written. UDF does *not* make your CD-RW
into a big floppy disk.

anything? I don't think so.
Lots of people use CD-RWs, they just don't use UDF. You can easily use
a CD-RW as an ISO9660 multisession medium; that's what I do. I use k3b
to make burning multisession discs slightly easier. HTH,

In fact I said 'AFAIK', as you said, udf packet writing isn't so
usefull, and I've never had any need for it.
