:Enabling raw-write in scsi_cd.c, you can newfs/mount DVD-RAM as UFS.
:Write speed is around 500KB/s, and read speed is around 1.4MB/s.

    Isn't that the drive with the enclosed DVD disk -- kinda like a permanent
    caddy?  I've avoided the DVD-RAM drives because of that and because the 
    standard is still going through major changes.  I expect those drives 
    to become obsolete very quickly once the technology settles down.  But in
    a year or two when the DVD-writers come down in price I'll probably 
    start using them.
