<title>Introduction to <application><acronym>UDF</acronym>tools</application></title>

<para>The <application><acronym>UDF</acronym>tools</application> package contains utilities
for creating and mounting <acronym>CD</acronym>-<acronym>RW</acronym> disks with
<acronym>UDF</acronym> file systems for both
reading and writing. <acronym>UDF</acronym> files systems are used on
both <acronym>CD</acronym>-<acronym>RW</acronym> media and
on <acronym>DVD</acronym>.  For more details of the
<acronym>UDF</acronym> file system standard see:

<title>Installation of the kernel patch</title>

<warning>
<para>Note that this patch can permanently damage your
<acronym>CD</acronym> drive if it is
from one of the few mentioned at
<ulink url="http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/10/25/1737244"/>. Do
not apply the patch without first checking out the article.</para>
</warning>

<para>Install the kernel patch by running the following commands from
the kernel source directory:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>patch -Np1 -i ../linux-2.4.26-packet.patch</command></userinput></screen>

<para>In the kernel configuration, check your setting with those listed
here:</para>

<screen>Block devices
   Packet writing on CD/DVD media:       Y or M
File Systems
   UDF filesystems support (read only):  Y
     UDF write support (DANGEROUS)       Y</screen>

<para>If necessary, recompile the kernel with:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>make CC=/opt/gcc-2.95.3/bin/gcc dep &amp;&amp;
make CC=/opt/gcc-2.95.3/bin/gcc bzImage &amp;&amp;
make CC=/opt/gcc-2.95.3/bin/gcc modules &amp;&amp;
make CC=/opt/gcc-2.95.3/bin/gcc modules_install</command></userinput></screen>
<para>
Copy <filename>/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage</filename> and
<filename>/usr/src/linux/System.map</filename> to
<filename class="directory">/boot</filename>. If you utilize
<application>LILO</application>, edit <filename>/etc/lilo.conf</filename>
appropriately and run <command>lilo</command>.
</para>

<para>If you built packet writer as a module, add the following to
<filename>/etc/modules.conf</filename>:</para>
<screen><userinput>alias block-major-97 pktcdvd</userinput></screen>

<para>Finally, create the packet driver device nodes in <filename
class="directory">/dev</filename>, add one node for every
<acronym>CD</acronym>-<acronym>RW</acronym> drive you
want to support:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>mknod /dev/pktcdvd0 b 97 0
mknod /dev/pktcdvd1 b 97 1</command></userinput></screen>

<para>The <application><acronym>UDF</acronym>tools</application> package contains <command>
pktsetup</command>, <command>cdrwtool</command>, and
<command>mkudffs</command>.</para>

</sect2>

<sect2><title>Description</title>

<sect3><title>pktsetup</title>
<para><command>pktsetup</command> is used to establish and break down
associations between the kernel packet driver and a physical drive.</para>
<para>Example:
<screen><command>pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/scd0
mount /dev/pktcdvd0 /mnt/cdrom -t udf -o rw,noatime</command></screen>
associates the physical device <filename>/dev/scd0</filename> with the
kernel packet driver <filename>/dev/pktcdvd0</filename>, then mounts a
<acronym>UDF</acronym> formatted <acronym>CD-RW</acronym> for read/write
access.</para></sect3>

<sect3><title>cdrwtool</title>
<para><command>cdrwtool</command> provides facilities to manage
<acronym>CD</acronym>-RW
drives, including formatting new disks, setting the read and write
speeds, etc. </para>
<para>Example:
<screen><command>cdrwtool -d /dev/scd0 -q</command></screen>
prepares a new <acronym>CD</acronym>-<acronym>RW</acronym> for use and 
formats it with a <acronym>UDF</acronym>
file system.</para></sect3>

<sect3><title>mkudffs</title>
<para><command>mkudffs</command> is used to create new
<acronym>UDF</acronym> file systems,
it can be used on hard disks and <acronym>CD</acronym>-R as well as
<acronym>CD</acronym>-<acronym>RW</acronym>.</para></sect3>
