      [PATCH] CDRW packet writing support · 2f8e2dc8
      Peter Osterlund authored
      This patch implements CDRW packet writing as a kernel block device.  Usage
      instructions are in the packet-writing.txt file.
      
      A hint: If you don't want to wait for a complete disc format, you can
      format just a part of the disc.  For example:
      
              cdrwtool -d /dev/hdc -m 10240
      
      This will format 10240 blocks, ie 20MB.

      [PATCH] packet-writing: add credits · a7cbd7da
      Peter Osterlund authored
      Nigel pointed out that the earlier patches contained attributions that
      are not present in this patch. The 2.4 patch contains:
      
        Nov 5 2001, Aug 8 2002. Modified by Andy Polyakov
        <appro@fy.chalmers.se> to support MMC-3 complaint DVD+RW units.
      
      and Nigel changed it to this in his 2.6 patch:
      
        Modified by Nigel Kukard <nkukard@lbsd.net> - support DVD+RW
        2.4.x patch by Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>
      
      The patch I sent you deleted most of the earlier work and moved the
      rest to cdrom.c, but the comments were not moved over, since the
      earlier authors didn't modify cdrom.c.

      [PATCH] DVD+RW support · ed594d2d
      Peter Osterlund authored
      This patch adds support for using DVD+RW drives as writable block devices.
      
      The patch is based on work from:
      
              Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se> - Wrote the 2.4 patch
              Nigel Kukard <nkukard@lbsd.net> - Initial porting to 2.6.x
      
      It works for me using an Iomega Super DVD 8x USB drive.
