I'm not sure how many are aware that I keep current CD-ROM
patches at http://www.kernel.dk? Enough plugging... The
current patch against 2.3.18 contains:
- Partition based multisession mounting. For instance,
mount /dev/hdc2 /mnt/cdrom would mount the second
session on the CD. Two notes - a) it only works on
ATAPI drives, since SCSI drives use minors differently...
b) mounting /dev/hdc2 overrides a specified session=
option to mount.
- Uniform CD Changer support. This was largely done by
Richard Sharman and tested by Erik Andersen (a bit,
at least!). Now both ATAPI and SCSI changers should
work. This also gets rid of the awful CONFIG_BLK_
DEV_IDECD config option.
- Video CD / CDi fixes.
- Fixes a couple of leaks in cdrom.c
- The obligatory cleanups. Note that pcd.c is untested,
Grant is looking into what needs to be done to get this
in complete working order.
