Status of UDF write on DVD-R(W) and CD-R(W) disks?

[Stephen Anthony]

I'm wondering about the status of UDF write support on DVD and CD media.  
Specifically, does anyone know when (or even if) it will be possible to 
do incremental writes on DVD-R or CD-R media using UDF and standard 
system tools (cp and the like)?  I'd like to treat a DVD-R like a small 
disk, and do mount, cp ..., umount.  Basically have everything work like 
a hard disk, except of course there would be no delete.

Please CC me if you want to response personally (I'm not subscribed to the 
list).

Thanks,
Steve

Google for packet-patch.  I've had this for about 9 months, although I 
don't use it much, and it doesn't work well with Adaptec/Roxio direct-CD.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Thanks for the info.  But I believe that solution is for kernel 2.4.  I'd 
like to use it with the latest 2.6 kernel (I probably should have 
mentioned that previously).

Thanks,

There is mention of kernel support in dvd+rw-tools (debian package name 
for growisofs) of this type, and it seems current (the other patch is 
rotting).  Check there for 2.6 support.

Thanks for the info.  Unfortunately, I've already read that document as 
well.  They simply state that support is *supposed* to be in the latest 
kernel.  That's the type of info I'm getting through google; that someone 
(somewhere) has heard that the latest kernel is *supposed* to do it.  I 
was looking for a little more concrete information :)

I was hoping that in posting on lkml that the authors (Jens, Peter, ??) 
would post directly on the status.  HINT-HINT ...

Thanks,
Steve
