I just picked up a Sony DRU-820A, 2 layar, DVD+-R, +-RW, RAM drive. It seems to be ok in the normal modes, but I'm not sure what I need to due with the RAM usage. I have some DVD-RAM disks. I put one in on the off chance it would just work, but it said it wasn't formatted. What do I need to due to use the this in RAM mode. I didn't find anything that seemed to be aimed at this.
I've never used DVD-RAM myself but from a quick Google it looks relatively straightforward...

I tried some of the things pointed at by the above links and am not getting anything usefull. It responds that the device is read only when I try the format. I didn't see anything relating to CentOS or the upstream supplier and DVD-RAMs.
Has anyone used DVD-RAM on CentOS 4? I'd like to hear from someone that has.
