So if they <A HREF="#tutorial">fulfill your requirements</A>, <I>then</I> <B>patching the kernel is</B> by all means <B>optional.</B> As for [vanilla] cdrecord, non-CD recording strategies are somewhat different, so it simply doesn't work (nor does dvdrecord with media other than DVD-R[W], despite what <A HREF="http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/release-notes/x86/">RedHat 7.3 Release Notes</A> say). On additional note Linux kernel version 2.6>=10 is equipped with <A HREF="http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/packet.html">packet writing driver</A> which supports even DVD rewritable media, but I haven't tested it myself, so don't ask:-)</TR></TABLE><P><TABLE CELLPADDING=4><TR VALIGN="top" ALIGN="justify"><TH>Q. <TH ALIGN="left">What is the kernel patch good for then?</TR><TR VALIGN="top" ALIGN="justify"><TD>A. <TD>DVD+RW (but not DVD+R nor any DVD-dash) is a true random write access media and therefore is suitable for housing of an arbitrary file system, e.g. <B>udf,</B> vfat, ext2, etc. This, and this alone, qualifies DVD+RW support for kernel implementation. <I>However,</I> I have to recommend to <B>deploy it with caution</B>, see <A HREF="#udf">tutorial</A> for further details. Also note that not all OEMs seem to live up to the promise of true random write access. As for the moment of this writing apparenly only 2nd generation Ricoh-based units (see <A HREF="http://www.dvdplusrw.org/">dvdplusrw.org</A> for generation listings) equipped with later firmware can sustain I/O fragmentation (see Technical Ramblings below for further details) and perform <I>reliably</I>.</TABLE><P><TABLE CELLPADDING=4><TR VALIGN="top" ALIGN="justify"><TH>Q. <TH ALIGN="left">What are the dvd+rw-tools for?</TR><TR VALIGN="top" ALIGN="justify"><TD>A. <TD>As implied/already mentioned - <B>to master the <A HREF="Blu-ray/">Blu-ray Disc</A> and DVD media, both +RW/+R and <A HREF="-RW/">-R[W]</A>.</B> I could simply refer to the tutorial below, but figured that couple of words about the [original] design ideas behind <B>growisofs, the principal burning utility,</B> wouldn't harm. Even though a modified kernel can let you put for example an ext2 file system on DVD+RW, it's probably not very practical, because you most likely want to access the data on an <I>arbitrary</I> computer. Or in other words you most likely want ISO9660. The trouble is that you might as well want to <I>add</I> data now and then. And what options do you have in the lack of multiple sessions (no, DVD+RW has no notion of multiple sessions)? Complete re-mastering which takes more and more time as data set grows? Well, yes, <I>unless</I> you employ growisofs! Growisofs provides the way to both lay down <I>and</I> grow an ISO9660 file system on (as well as to burn an arbitrary pre-mastered image to) all supported optical media.</TR></TABLE><P><TABLE CELLPADDING=4><TR VALIGN="top" ALIGN="justify"><TH>Q. <TH ALIGN="left">But if they support both + and - recording strategies, why are they called dvd+rw-tools?</TR><TR VALIGN="top" ALIGN="justify"><TD>A. <TD>For historical/nostalgical reasons, as originally they did support exclusively DVD+plus. On the other hand now, when the vast majority of DVD burners that are being introduced to the market today are DVD+capable, the name most likely refers to your unit in either case. And you can always consider the plus in the name as notion of a unique quality, such as "seamless" multisessioning, not as reference to some particular format:-)</TR></TABLE><P><TABLE CELLPADDING=4><TR VALIGN="top" ALIGN="justify"><TH>Q. <TH ALIGN="left">Do I still need <A HREF="http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/cdrecord.html">cdrtools</A>?</TR><TR VALIGN="top" ALIGN="justify"><TD>A. <TD>Yes. It should be explicitly noted that <B>growisofs is a front-end to mkisofs,</B> i.e. invokes mkisofs to perform the actual ISO9660 file system layout. Secondly, the DVD burners available on the market can burn even CD-R[W] media and cdrecord is the tool for this job [and this job only].</TR></TABLE><!--<P><TABLE CELLPADDING=4><TR VALIGN="top" ALIGN="justify"><TH>Q. <TH ALIGN="left">There are dual-format DVD+RW/-RW units available on the market, e.g. SONY DRU500.
