Hi, The email addresses taken from ./Documentation/cdrom/packet-writing.txt aren't responding and the kernel mailing list daemon at vger.kernel.org isn't accepting subscription. That is why I write to this mailing list.
If I'm correct, packet writing support is going to be removed from the Linux kernel in the near future. Is there any particular reason for this, as far as you people know? Both DVD-writers and Blueray-writers are still being sold to date. I'm currently working on quite a large project. I would be dependent solely on USB to store my backup files, when the packet writing support is removed. Actually I'm quite uncomfortable with that idea, because USB is rewritable. Any serious attempt to do damage to my project will result a permanent loss of code. Personally I would do anything to keep packet writing support in the kernel. I'd hoped you could remove normal floppy disc support instead. That seems the more logical course of action. Floppy disc drives aren't being sold anymore for quite some years now. Anybody there? Have a pleasant day, Mischa Baars. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
