USING DVD-RAM as a file system ( like directcd )
To use a DVD-RAM for writing and reading like a file system,
use the following commands. This will work only at AIX 5.2 and above.
1) Put DVD-RAM into drive
2) udfcreate -d /dev/cd0
3) mount -V udfs /dev/cd0 /mnt
If you get error, ensure /etc/vfs contains this line:
udfs 34 /sbin/helpers/udfmnthelp
4) mount -V udfs /dev/cd0 /mnt
... then use this as a regular filesystem.
