Can linux update rewritable CDs?

[Everard Edwards]

the (2.4 at least) kernel does support the packet written filesystem if
that's what you mean (UFS, or UDF or something...)  I don't know whether any
software really supports it though and the write access to the filesystem is
described as dangerous!  Alternatively multisession support is fine if
that's what you mean, cdrecord supports it.  Although I use the xcdroast
front end which seams pretty feature full and stable.

Someone asked me whether I could use a linux machine to add a file to a
rewritable CD, like you do with those programs in windows.

cdrecord seems totally geared towards writing complete tracks, partial
updates don't seem to be supported.

Any ideas? Is it just a matter of adding another session with just the
files
you want (with the right directory tree) and expect the readers to sort it
all out?
