On recent kernels, writing to DVD-RAM is much slower than to be expected. A 3x Writer should do about 1.9MB/s including automatic verify. This is what I get with 2.6.7 up to bk7. However, from 2.6.7-bk8 to 2.6.10 write speed is as low as 600 to 1000 kB/s. The drive's head jumps a lot more with thes

Many thanks Jim. Now at least I have a way. But I caution others that Linux modifies the UDF filesystem somehow, so that Winders can no longer understand it. I nearly lost all my music & photo archives to this. And attempts to rm or mv on a DVDRAM with UDF cause it to segfault & jam up. The
