-Write support requires a block driver which supports writing. The current
-scsi and ide cdrom drivers do not support writing.
+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.
