Don't believe what your vendor says - for example LG's formatting tool and documentation for Windows claims NTFS isn't possible either, but it perfectly is. Think of DVD-RAMs as poor man's MO-media. All I needed to do to format one with UFS was 'newfs /dev/cd0c'. This is an atapi drive with atapicam enabled however, I can't test with real SCSI hardware. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
