DVD-RAM questions
I have a couple of questions about DVD-RAM on Debian Sarge,
kernel 2.4.27-3-686
If I format DVD-RAMs with ext2 most things work fine but there
are two minor problems:
When I shut down the system without manually umounting the DVD-RAM
it does not get cleanly umounted like a hd or somesuch.
When I'm formating a medium the system gets real slow and sometimes
it does not react on user input any more for some time.
Following some discussions on debian lists I got the impression
that udf would be a 'better' filesystem for DVD-RAM.
Is this true and why?
I wanted to try and I did
mkudffs --media-type=dvdram /dev/scd6
which did (?) it's job in a few seconds (while mkfs.ext2 takes a while)
and then I could
mount -tudf /dev/$DVDRAM_DEVICE /DVD-RAM
muz:~# mount
[snip]
/dev/scd6 on /DVD-RAM type udf (rw)
but I can't write files on the device:
muz:~# > /DVD-RAM/new_file
-bash: /DVD-RAM/new_file: Read-only file system
What did I do wrong?
Robert
