Linux CDRW packet writing
History
Jens Axboe wrote the first driver to implement CD-RW packet writing
for the 2.4 linux kernel. He wrote the
pktcdvd
kernel module that converts a CD-RW disk into a regular linux block
device.
I created updated patches for the pktcdvd module that worked with
various 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 kernel versions. The 2.6 patches are
available
here. The 2.4 and 2.5 patches are no
longer supported. The 2.4.x patches for x > 10 had rare data
corruption bugs, which was fixed in the 2.6 driver by a code
redesign.
Current status
The pktcdvd driver was finally included in kernel 2.6.10.
Note! You need an updated version of the pktsetup program. Here
is a patch for
udftools-1.0.0b3.
