Likewise, the SCSI CD driver can deal with read-only DVDs just fine. Dealing with rewriteable DVD's is a little different, and requires write support in the CD driver. (It has been done, but needs a little more thought/time before it goes in the tree.) > As the author & maintainer of the ata driver I have some interest in > this, and will follow things on the side, eventually bringing in > support as needed.. Whatever we do, we should try to make sure we have a common set of ioctls between the ATAPI and SCSI CD drivers.
