DVD-RAM and Linux?

I'm playing with an external, SCSI-based DVD-RAM drive (a Hitachi GF-2050,
marketed by Fantom). I've got a few questions regarding Linux support for
DVD-RAM:

1. I assume Linux supports read-only access of a DVD-RAM drive, but which
filesystem should be used to access the device?

2. Does Linux support write access to DVD-RAM devices? If so, can someone
point me to a HOW-TO?

3. This device supports both single- (2.7GB) and double-sided (5.4GB)
media. Does Linux make any distinction between the 2 types?

Thanks.
