UDF files systems are used on both CD-RW media and on DVD. For more details of the UDF file system standard see: and .

Installation of UDFtools Install UDFtools by running the following commands: bzcat ../udftools-1.0.0b3.patch.bz2 | patch -Np1 && sed -i -e 's/(char\*)spm +=/spm = (char\*)spm +/' wrudf/wrudf.c && ./configure --prefix=/usr && make Now, as the root user: make install Command Explanations sed -i -e 's/(char\*)spm +=/spm = (char\*)spm +/' wrudf/wrudf.c: This change is required to compile with recent compilers. Contents Installed Programs Installed Library Installed Directories cdrwtool, mkudffs, pktsetup, udffsck, and wrudf libudffs.a None Short Descriptions cdrwtool provides facilities to manage CD-RW drives, including formatting new disks, setting the read and write speeds, etc. Example: cdrwtool -d /dev/scd0 -q prepares a new CD-RW for use and formats it with a UDF file system. cdrwtool mkudffs is used to create new UDF file systems. It can be used on hard disks and CD-Rs as well as CD-RWs. mkudffs pktsetup is used to establish and break down associations between the kernel packet driver and a physical drive. Example: pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/scd0 mount /dev/pktcdvd0 /mnt/cdrom -t udf -o rw,noatime associates the physical device /dev/scd0 with the kernel packet driver /dev/pktcdvd0, then mounts a UDF formatted CD-RW for read/write access. pktsetup udffsck is used to check the integrity and correct errors on UDF filesystems. udffsck wrudf is used to maintain a UDF filesystem. wrudf libudffs.a contains functions used by the UDFtools programs. libudffs.a
