>Description:
Let me start by stating that i have ATAPICAM compiled into the kernel. Now, I am able to 'mount_udf /dev/acd0 /mnt'. However, if the dvd-ram media is formated w/ UDF2 and I attempt to 'cat' or 'cp' a file ('ls' seems to work okay) the error message 'cannot allocate memory' is returned.
If the dvd-ram is formatted w/ UDF1.5 I am able to cat/cp MOST files. Unfortunately, trying to cp/cat certain files (maybe 'cause they are large?) results in the entire system crashing/rebooting automagically (ugh!). In addition, the disc gets corrupted (I tried copying a file from a directory on the DVD-RAM and after the crash/reboot I was no longer able to even ls the directory that the file was contained in, some kind of 'input/output error').
>How-To-Repeat:
Well, you may or may not need specific hardware (MATSHITA DVD-RAM SW-9571 A111). Insert a dvd-ram disc that is formated UDF2, mount_udf it, then try 'cat file_on_dvd_ram'; the message displayed is 'cannot allocate memory'.
Also, insert a dvd-ram disc that is formatted UDF1.5, mount_udf it, then try 'cp large_file_on_dvd_ram some_dir_on_hd' with various large files; eventually the system should crash and reboot, your dvd-ram will be corrupted.
