pktcdvd0 have been around since the 2.4.x series kernels. It looks as though it's either part of the main kernel now or one of the gentoo patched kernels. In any case, how about adding an conf.d/init.d script to make use of this puppy? I've been applying the patches manually for each 2.6.x release without incident. Patches don't seem to be available for kernels >2.6.8, but the device seems to be present and works flawlessly with my startup/shutdown scripts. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. include my cdrw conf.d/init.d scripts 2. use them 3. make your cdrw one big floppy, eh? Actual Results: Everything works perfectly (for me that is).

this would make sense being part of sys-fs/udftools, not baselayout
You are right, of course. sys-fs/udftools is where this script belongs. Speaking of which, I have an updated version that's a little more robust. Enjoy.

Created attachment 52573 [details] Yet another script /etc/init.d/pktcdvd Yet another version of packet writing setup script.
Just to let you know I haven't forgotten about this. Despite having taken an interest in packet writing, I am currently living at uni where I don't have a cd writer and can't afford one. I'll buy one when I get paid (soon!) and have a play with pktcdvd :)
Please take my name off this bug. I'm retired.
Committed a simplified version of this init script to portage - thanks for your work! The version in udftools-1.0.0b-r5 autodetects the CDRW-capable devices and sets up nodes for them in the format /dev/pktcdvd/hdc Thanks.
