Does the reverse inconsistency also interest you?

By inserting a read-only DVD disc into a USB drive, I get to see the
paradoxical contradiction:

$ uname -msr
Linux 2.6.8-rc1 i686
$
$ sudo blockdev --getro /dev/scd0
0
$ sudo dd of=/dev/scd0 bs=64K count=1 if=/dev/zero
dd: opening `/dev/scd0': Read-only file system
$

I trust you'll tell me if I can help further.
