I've got a few questions regarding Linux support for DVD-RAM: 1. I assume Linux supports read-only access of a DVD-RAM drive, but which filesystem should be used to access the device? 2. Does Linux support write access to DVD-RAM devices? If so, can someone point me to a HOW-TO? 3. This device supports both single- (2.7GB) and double-sided (5.4GB) media. Does Linux make any distinction between the 2 types? Thanks.
