Hi. I have been interested in trying DVD-RAM due to its 30 year
shelf-life and supposed "ease of use" of just being mounted like a
regular disk without having to use CD or DVD writing software.
Anyway, I believe the DVD drive handles DV

working of the cdrom hardware, esp. the eject command, and the hardware
eject button.
It was an attractive idea, the ability to use ordinary file tools to
save files to a dvd-rw, but after a period of testing, I just can't make
it work satisfactorily. The same

This is becoming a rapidly frustrating experience, so if anyone has
any suggestions on what this might be about, I'm up for hearing them.
Many thanks

I changed how I was backing up my system, and now need to write larger files
to my Panasonic LF-D521 DVD-RAM (backup drive). Unfortunately it chokes a

The disk[s] have been formatte

Magneto-Optical drives. Later, sequential write once ability for CD-R
was added to the existing random write once ability.
The focus of UDF design was interchangeability. There is nothing in UDF

If I format DVD-RAMs with ext2 most things work fine but there
are two minor problems:
When I shut down the system without manually umounting the DVD-RAM
it does not get cleanly umounted like a hd or somesuch.

buggy; I can crash the kernel using a loopback device. I've intended to
go through the code for quite some time now.
I had similar problems with a DVD-Ram disc used for backup when
formatted UDF, so I reformatted it ext3 and no errors for over a year.

as I understand all data written to a DVD Ram are verified by the burner

As floppies? No. It's not a floppy disk.
