Are you sure that it's CD-RW and DVD-RW ? These are rewritable
disks, but you can only write them sequentially, and not with a
random-access filesystem like FFS.
A sequential filesystem like UDF on the other hand should work
with either DVD-RW or CD-RW.
DVD-RAM is a rewritable DVD that allows random access, but there
is no CD-RAM. If your DVD-RW is actually a DVD-RAM, that would
explain why newfs works for it.
