PKTSETUP(8) System Management Commands PKTSETUP(8)NAME
pktsetup - set up and tear down packet device associations
SYNOPSIS
pktsetup packet_device block_device
pktsetup -d packet_device
pktsetup -s
DESCRIPTION
Pktsetup is used to associate packet devices with CD or DVD block devices, so that the packet device can then be mounted and potentially
used as a read/write filesystem. This requires kernel support for the packet device, and the UDF filesystem.
See: http://packet-cd.sourceforge.net/ <>
EXIT STATUS
Pktsetup returns 0 on success, nonzero on failure.
OPTIONS -d packet-device
Delete the association between the specified packet-device and its block device.
-s Show device mappings.
EXAMPLE
The following commands provide an example of using the packet device.
cdrwtool -d /dev/sr0 -q
pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/sr0
mount -t udf /dev/pktcdvd0 /mnt
...
umount /dev/pktcdvd0
pktsetup -d /dev/pktcdvd0
FILES
/dev/pktcdvd0,/dev/pktcdvd1,... CD/DVD packet devices (block major=97)

CDRWTOOL(1) Commands CDRWTOOL(1)NAME
cdrwtool - perform various actions on a CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-R
SYNOPSIS
cdrwtool -d device -i | -g
cdrwtool -d device -s [ write-parameters ]
cdrwtool -d device -q [ write-parameters ]
cdrwtool -d device -m offset [ write-parameters ]
cdwrtool -d device -u blocks [ write-parameters ]
cdrwtool -d device -b b_mode [ write-parameters ]
cdrwtool -d device -c blocks [ write-parameters ]
cdwrtool -d device -f filename [ write-parameters ]
cdwrtool -d device -r track [ write-parameters ]
cdrwtool -h
DESCRIPTION
The cdwrtool command can perform certain actions on a CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD-R device. Mainly these are blanking the media, formating it for
use with the packet-cd device, and applying an UDF filesystem.
The most common usage is probably the `quick setup' option:
cdrwtool -d device -q
which will blank the disc, format it as one large track, and write the UDF filesystem structures.
Other options get and set various parameters of how the device is set up, and provide for different offsets, modes and settings from the
defaults.
The usefulness of most of the options is not explained.
OPTIONS
Main directives:
-d device
Specify the device to use. eg. /dev/sr0
-i Print disc track info.
-g Print write parameters.
-u length
Make a UDF filesystem using length number of blocks.
-m offset
Format the disc at offset number of blocks.
-b mode
Blank the disk using a mode of `full' or `fast'.
-f filename
Write file.
-c track
Close track.
-r track
Reserve track.
-z length
Fixed packet length.
-s Set write parameters determined by -l, -w, and -p options for the disc.
-v version
Specify the udf revision to use. Valid revisions are 0x0201, 0x0200, 0x0150, and 0x0102. If omitted, mkudffs udf-version is 0x0150.
-h Prints a sparse help message.
Write parameters:
-t speed
Set write speed. (Defaults to 12x ?)
-l type
Set multi-session field. Either `0', `1', or `3', corresponding to `No B0 pointer. Next Session not allowed', `B0 pointer =
FF:FF:FF. Next session not allowed', and `Next session allowed. B0 pointer = next possible program area' respectively.
-w mode
Set write mode. Either `mode1' or `mode2'.
-p type
Set packet type. Either `0' or `1', corresponding to variable and fixed packet sizes respectively.
-o offset
Set write offset.
