udf cd rw

Are you mounting the CD-RW in a drive that's capable of burning CD's?  I 
don't have a burner on my Linux box, but certainly when I create a udf 
CD on the Windows box I can mount it on the Linux box , and of course it 
mounts as read only. 

I can't see anything in the docs I have that says writing to a udf fs is 
not supported, even if you have a CD drive which is capable of writing.  
I do note that there is no mkfs.udf command in /sbin, which provides a 
powerful clue that perhaps you can only write to such disks using a 
burner program.
