Package: udftools Version: 1.0.0b3-11 Severity: normal
I bought a couple of DVD-RW and tried for 2 weeks to prepare them for UDF packet writing without success. Every time I looked for some documentation on the web but every attempt I made ended without success. After preparing the media in restricted overwrite mode with dvd+rw-format -force=full /dev/hda I tried to create an UDF filesystem on it with mkudffs -r 0x0150 /dev/hda: this command _always_ printed on my console "trying to change type of multiple extents" without even try to write to the media. By specifying the number of blocks it seemed to work, but the result was an unmountable media (by the command 'mount -t udf -o rw,noatime /dev/pktcdvd/0 /mnt/dvdrw' always failed echoing "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/pktcdvd/0"; dmesg showed "UDF-fs: No partition found (1)". I ended up thinking that those specific media were not compatible with my drive, until I booted into windows: after the very first attempt with Nero InCD I've got my media formatted and perfectly usable with linux and pktcdvd. The need for windows has been even more frustrating than the unsuccessful attempts I've made before. I really wonder if I missed some doc, or if DVD-RW media are still not usable with pktcdvd, or if simply there is some bug in udftools which prevents such operations.
