The UDF module currently makes direct calls to the SCSI driver in some places that make it mostly incompatible to IDE drives. It would certainly be cleaner if the functions we need were implemented in the Uniform CDROM interface. What we need is inclusion of the SCSI3/mmc2 command set, which is used by DVDs, CDRs, CDRWs, etc. I have a link to some SCSI3/mmc2 information at http://trylinux.com/projects/udf/. As an added bonus, if these features were included, perhaps the cdrecord maintainer would stop saying that Linux had the worst SCSI implementation! :-) Dave Boynton da...@trylinux.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majo...@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

I have been swamped the last two months, but this is on the agenda list. Expect to see something within a month. -- * Jens Axboe <ax...@image.dk> * Linux CD-ROM Maintainer - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majo...@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
