|  | If you encounter problems with reading UDF discs using this driver, | 
|  | please report them according to MAINTAINERS file. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Write support requires a block driver which supports writing.  Currently | 
|  | dvd+rw drives and media support true random sector writes, and so a udf | 
|  | filesystem on such devices can be directly mounted read/write.  CD-RW | 
|  | media however, does not support this.  Instead the media can be formatted | 
|  | for packet mode using the utility cdrwtool, then the pktcdvd driver can | 
|  | be bound to the underlying cd device to provide the required buffering | 
|  | and read-modify-write cycles to allow the filesystem random sector writes | 
|  | while providing the hardware with only full packet writes.  While not | 
|  | required for dvd+rw media, use of the pktcdvd driver often enhances | 
|  | performance due to very poor read-modify-write support supplied internally | 
|  | by drive firmware. | 
|  |  | 
|  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 
|  | The following mount options are supported: | 
|  |  | 
|  | gid=		Set the default group. | 
|  | umask=		Set the default umask. | 
|  | mode=		Set the default file permissions. | 
|  | dmode=		Set the default directory permissions. | 
|  | uid=		Set the default user. | 
|  | bs=		Set the block size. | 
|  | unhide		Show otherwise hidden files. | 
|  | undelete	Show deleted files in lists. | 
|  | adinicb		Embed data in the inode (default) | 
|  | noadinicb	Don't embed data in the inode | 
|  | shortad		Use short ad's | 
|  | longad		Use long ad's (default) | 
|  | nostrict	Unset strict conformance | 
|  | iocharset=	Set the NLS character set | 
|  |  | 
|  | The uid= and gid= options need a bit more explaining.  They will accept a | 
|  | decimal numeric value and all inodes on that mount will then appear as | 
|  | belonging to that uid and gid.  Mount options also accept the string "forget". | 
|  | The forget option causes all IDs to be written to disk as -1 which is a way | 
|  | of UDF standard to indicate that IDs are not supported for these files . | 
|  |  | 
|  | For typical desktop use of removable media, you should set the ID to that of | 
|  | the interactively logged on user, and also specify the forget option.  This way | 
|  | the interactive user will always see the files on the disk as belonging to him. | 
|  |  | 
|  | The remaining are for debugging and disaster recovery: | 
|  |  | 
|  | novrs		Skip volume sequence recognition | 
|  |  | 
|  | The following expect a offset from 0. | 
|  |  | 
|  | session=	Set the CDROM session (default= last session) | 
|  | anchor=		Override standard anchor location. (default= 256) | 
|  | lastblock=	Set the last block of the filesystem/ |
