Creating the UDF disk
DVDUDFFMT='dvd+rw-format -force /dev/dvd; mkudffs /dev/pktcdvd/dvd'

Mounting the UDF disk
DVDUDFM='mount -t udf /dev/pktcdvd/dvd /media/dvd -o rw,noatime'

Unmounting the UDF disk
DVDUDFUM='umount /media/dvd ; eject /dev/hdc '

/etc/fstab
...
...
/dev/pktcdvd/dvd   /media/dvd   udf   noauto,noatime,user,rw  0 0
...

:-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-)
