Hello,

I am running RedHat Wolverine (beta) with kernel 2.4.2. I have a SCSI subsystem (AHA2740) with a Panasonic LF-D101 DVDRAM on it.

I read that the CDROM driver is built to recognize DVDRAMs and allow writes; well I can mount and read the UDF file system fine, but am not allowed writes. I have UDF2.0 on the disk, because it didn't recognize UDF2.1.

Also, when I make xconfig, it includes UDF support, but read-only. (Write-Experimental is grayed-out)

In fstab: /dev/scd1 is mounted to /mnt/dvdram udf default 0 0. (paraphrasing)

I need the DVDRAM for backups and file transfers. Is the problem the driver, the UDF filesystem, my setup, or what?
