bluray and kernel udf

I was wondering if it is possible to write to a bluray disk (BD-RE) like one does with DVD-RAM? It seems like it could save a lot of time if this were possible.

The BD-RE disk is loaded in /dev/sr0. The kernel complains that the disk is write protected.

I can write the bluray disk if I use the loop driver, create a file system in a hard drive file, and write the image using growisofs.

Just curious if I am missing something here. The /dev/pktcdvd directory was created by /etc/init.d/pktcdvd I believe.

You don't need to packet write to blu-ray, it works like a DVD+RW disk. Just format with dvd+rw-format (should be necessary only once), then: "mkudffs /dev/sr0"

Then you should be able to mount in read/write mode, and access directly. Make sure you have write permissions to the directory upon which it is mounted, and you should be good to go...

Now.. that being said, I found my burner to be extremely slow.... but it works. I'm looking for ways to better tune it.
