Using the packet-writing patch, you can use cd-rw as a read/write
filesystem under linux. (Ive used it with ext2 and udf filesystems.)
Modern dvd drives can work this way normally, I believe, and cd-rw
drives that support mt. rainier can do this with certain udf
patches. None of these are in the stable or developement kernel
yet, AFAIK.
