Description Alexander Lavrinenko 2005-10-17 20:08:23 UTC 
Greetings! 
 
Seems that /dev entry for udftools is out of date. It should be an 
empty /dev/pktcdvd directory, while it is char special file: 
 
barracuda:/home/alex # l /dev/pktcdvd  
crw-rw----  1 root root 10, 62 Oct 17 22:02 /dev/pktcdvd  
barracuda:/home/alex #  
 
Of course, trying to use it fails: 
barracuda:/home/alex # pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd /dev/cdrom 
ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device 
barracuda:/home/alex # 
 
but after I deleted /dev/pktcdvd and created directory there instead, it 
works: 
barracuda:/home/alex # rm -f /dev/pktcdvd 
barracuda:/home/alex # mkdir /dev/pktcdvd 
barracuda:/home/alex # pktsetup udfcd /dev/hda 
barracuda:/home/alex # !mount 
mount -t udf /dev/pktcdvd/udfcd /mnt/ 
barracuda:/home/alex # l /dev/pktcdvd/

Also I'd like to see initscripts support for UDF writing, and KDE support as 
well, asking me whether to mount (or actually do mount) inserted CD/DVD with 
UDF on it.
Comment 1 Kay Sievers 2005-10-19 13:18:04 UTC 
Does adding this to the udev.rules file work?
  KERNEL=="pktcdvd", NAME="pktcdvd/control"
  KERNEL=="pktcdvd[0-9]*", NAME="pktcdvd/%k"
Comment 2 Alexander Lavrinenko 2005-10-19 17:42:46 UTC 
Will try day after, I have no access to the hardware this time.
Comment 3 Alexander Lavrinenko 2005-10-24 14:02:17 UTC 
It's still uncertain how to use UDF. If I insert UDF disc it is not accessed via packet writing interface (i.e. I can't open file on it, modify it, and save).
Comment 4 Kay Sievers 2006-02-08 19:22:58 UTC 
The udev rule is fixed. Closing the bug.
