Talk:Mount Rainier (packet writing)

message: The following is a criticism of an earlier version, it should probably be revised or erased: Choppingmall 22:49, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The article itself is contradictory.  It claims at one point that it is completely hardware based.  In the very next paragraph that operating systems either support it or not, and that those that don't require additional software support.
More errors''
 - "Mount Rainier is an optical disc file system that adds packet writing to the Universal Disk Format (UDF)."
  - Mt Rainier is not a file system
  - it does not add packet writing to UDF. UDF Can do packet writing without MtRainier just fine
 - "With the Universal Disk Format, it is already possible to use CD-RW discs like a floppy disk, but this is achieved by the use of specialized writing software."
  - MRW also requires specialized writing software
 - "Mount Rainier will be implemented natively in Windows Vista"
  - Can I borrow your cristal ball ? Can someone confirm this is true for the recent public Vista beta ?
 - "Already, the latest Linux distros support Mount Rainier natively."
  - AFAIK, linux does not support MRW due to IP conflicts.

message: A filesystem which features defect management may be of little benefit on a MRW formatted disc given that this functionality is already transparently achieved by the drive hardware. As an example, UDF 1.5 would have no advantage over UDF 1.02 and in fact may give less useable space if it fails to recognize that it is being written to a defect managed device and reserves sparing space. (This happened to me before and I got 438 MB free on a UDF 1.5 filesystem on a MRW formatted disk.)
The same may or may not also be true for write levelling filesystems, but I am not familiar enough with the Mount Ranier spec to give an informed opinion.

thread_title:  What is the best filesystem for a Mount Rainier formatted disc? 

message: History
 As of 2007, MRW is practically dead. Since years, no new optical unit supports it
 (they can only read MRW formatted media, but not write to them, except formatting them new without MRW).
A statement from user Xerces8.
I wonder if there is proof that "MRW is dead". 
I would like to take this over to the german article about Mount Rainier, only some statements of source would be fine to support this bit of information, IMHO...

replies: text: It is quite strange to me that the DVD-Logo on the one side is free to be used in multiple articles, but this logo is not free, although it is also a logo for a technical standard to be used in a similar manner. What goes on here? --Andreas 13:46, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:MtRainier logo.jpg

message: In the section on Advantages and Disadvantages, no disadvantages are listed.  I know nothing about this kind of technology, but no listed disadvantages makes me question the truthfulness of the entire article.  Looks like a previous author said Mount Rainier was dead as a format, but now the article says it has no disadvantages.  Looks like more of an ad for Mount Rainier MRW now, than an honest article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trobster (talk • contribs) 04:06, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  No disadvantages listed 

message: What I would like to see is how the MRW format works on disc i.e. how it is implemented. I see no sources listed on the page.
The closest thing I could find is this PDF DVD+MRW leaflet
