Re: [2.6.20-rc6] pktcdvd doesn't work

["Fabio Comolli" <fabio.comolli@gmail.com>]

Hi all.
I don't know if this report can be useful, but this problem does not
show up in my setup.

I tried multiple times to copy 10MB files (unmounting and remounting
every time) and verified with md5sum the results and everything is
correct.

Details:

* kernel version: 2.6.20-rc6-g93544047
* driver: ata_piix (only a PATA hard disk and a DVD writer)
* writer: TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L532M HR08 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5).
* udftools version: udftools-1.0.0b3-7.fc6

Regards,
Fabio
