Before I bugzilla this I want to check with others to make sure it is not a user error on my part. In creating a backup DVD using K3b 0.11.14 under FC3rc1 on an AMD Athlon 64 system. When I setup the burn there is a "keep permissions" option that I select before starting the burn process. After burning the backup DVD. Upon mounting the DVD and then doing a "ls -ld *" on the directories the write bit is not set. I can "rcp -r" the directories to a hard drive and then "chmod -R +w " on the directories to get the write back, but I don't want to do this for obvious reasons. There may be some files and subdirectories that I do not want to accidently manipulate. There are no directories on the DVD with write permissions, but all the files seem to have the correct permissions. This is a user error on my part?
Well, it's all about the way you mount the CD... look in /etc/fstab. It is mounted read-only :), so nothing can have the write flag.
Think about backing up a tar.gz, which keeps all flags.
