pktsetup – set up and tear down packet device associations

Synopsis

pktsetup packet_device block_device
pktsetup -d packet_device
pktsetup -s

Description

Pktsetup is used to associate packet devices with CD or DVD block devices, so that the packet device can then be mounted and potentially used as a read/write filesystem. This requires kernel support for the packet device, and the UDF filesystem. See: http://packet-cd.sourceforge.net/

Exit Status

Pktsetup returns 0 on success, nonzero on failure.

Options

-d packet-device: Delete the association between the specified packet-device and its block device.
-s: Show device mappings.

Example

The following commands provide an example of using the packet device.


cdrwtool -d /dev/sr0 -q
pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/sr0
mount -t udf /dev/pktcdvd0 /mnt
 ...
umount /dev/pktcdvd0
pktsetup -d /dev/pktcdvd0

Files

/dev/pktcdvd0,/dev/pktcdvd1,... CD/DVD packet devices (block major=97)
