Fedora 6 has a very minimal support for packet writing. I was able to
use it, but I had to run pktsetup and mount manually.
Debian has an init script that runs pktsetup for each cd rw driver.
The list of cd rw drivers is read from a config file.
It should be easy to port this script, but I think that we can do
better. I am planning to write an udev rule to run pktsetup every time
check-cdrom.sh detects a cd-rw or a dvd-rw. Do you think that it would
be a good thing to do?

This will be most useful. After all, UDF-formatted RW media was supposed
to be used like any removable RW storage device, so it should be as easy
to use, as, for example, a USB stick.

Loading the kernel module is easy, I just added a "RUN+=" line to
/etc/udev/rules/50-udev.rules:
---------------------------------------------------
KERNEL=="hd[a-z]", BUS=="ide", SYSFS{removable}=="1",
PROGRAM=="check-cdrom.sh %k CD-R", SYMLINK+="cdwriter cdwriter-%k cdrw
cdrw-%k", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe pktcdvd"
.....
--------------------------------------------------
I am a bit confused on how to run pktsetup. I think that the commands
should be in a new file that can be included in udevtools, so I create
a file named 52-pktsetup.rules:
----------------------------------------------
KERNEL=="hd[a-z]", BUS=="ide", SYSFS{removable}=="1",
PROGRAM=="check-cdrom.sh %k CD-R", RUN+="/usr/bin/pktsetup %k %p"
----------------------------------------------
Apparently pktsetup is not being run. Replacing the command with a
"/bin/sh -c 'echo hi > /root/test" doesn't create a test file....
Is there a log file I can check?

Fortunately, pktsetup loads the appropriate kernel module. There is no
need to call modprobe and the attached file implements the proposed
functionality.
What is missing:
make gnome and kde use /dev/pktcdvd/%d instead of /dev/%d to mount
a nice frontend to "cdrwtool -d /dev/cdrw -q" :-)
