Hi Jeff, linux-ide,
I'm having troubles with libata and UDF on RW media. See below.

Hi,

Yup, It used to work but since I rarely use it I don't remember which
kernel version worked for me.
Hm, maybe you can take a guess.

I can bisect pktcdvd.c if necessary, but it seems that it's innocent.
is written to the device is lost after umount.
I rarely use pktcdvd but at some point it used to work on my system.

This is what I'm doing:

root@dreamland:/tmp# cdrwtool -d /dev/scd0 -q
scsi 8:0:0:0: CD-ROM            HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4167B DL13 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
In case you are using ide-scsi: try without.
It's libata jmicron driver. Shall I try the "old" PATA driver on the
next reboot?
If you have lots of CDRs/DVDRs to spare (or a CDRW/DVDRW), every test is
welcome.

With the legacy IDE driver it works fine.
The unit is DVD-RAM capable so the firmware should handle random writes
fine; I've tried mounting /dev/scd0 rw *without* pktcdvd and I still
lose files. So I guess it has something to do with libata.

So to recap, after formatting the disk with UDF:

* libata
  - mount with pktcdvd: all files are lost upon umount
  - mount scd0 w/out pktcdvd: all files are lost upon umount
  - write the disk with cdrecord: OK

  pktcdvd reports wrong capacity:
pktcdvd: Fixed packets, 32 blocks, Mode-2 disc
  pktcdvd: Max. media speed: 4
  pktcdvd: write speed 4x
  pktcdvd: 0kB available on disc
  UDF-fs INFO UDF 0.9.8.1 (2004/29/09) Mounting volume 'LinuxUDF', timestamp 2007/01/30 18:18 (103c)

* legacy IDE driver
  - mount with pktcdvd: OK
  - mount hda w/out pktcdvd: corrupts FS (duh)
  - write the disk with cdrecord: OK

  pktcdvd reports correct capacity:
pktcdvd: writer pktcdvd0 mapped to hda
  pktcdvd: Fixed packets, 32 blocks, Mode-2 disc
  pktcdvd: Max. media speed: 4
  pktcdvd: write speed 4x
  pktcdvd: 551232kB available on disc
  UDF-fs INFO UDF 0.9.8.1 (2004/29/09) Mounting volume 'LinuxUDF', timestamp 2007/01/30 22:19 (103c)

The HW is a JMicron controller:
02:00.0 IDE interface: JMicron Technologies, Inc. JMicron 20360/20363 AHCI Controller (rev 02)
02:00.1 IDE interface: JMicron Technologies, Inc. JMicron 20360/20363 AHCI Controller (rev 02)

hmmm, definitely interesting behavior.

Would you mind putting this info into a bugzilla.kernel.org report, so that it is not lost? This bug will likely go into a heavy ATAPI debugging session that is coming in a few weeks, but not immediately :/
