Re: Writing to Pana DVD-RAM

DOH! You're right.

I can now write to it, but only get one chance. Copy a file to DVDRAM, read, print, etc, but when I try to rm or mv, segfault. Foreverafter the DVDRAM is 'busy'. Cannot umount. Must reboot then umount. Remount, get another write, but on subsequent write, segfault.

I am using UDF2. (UDF2.1 won't mount) Would I be better off with UDF1.2, or FAT32? How can I get details of the driver's capabilities?
