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?
