Does anyone have experience creating a SunOS compatible file system on an
optical drive?  Also, has anyone used the new multi-write drives with Suns
yet?

Basically, I need to store large amounts (500 Meg+) of data from a mobile
robot that I can later process on a Sun based system (creating 500 Meg+ of
processed data).  If I can write a file system directly, I won't have to
worry about tranferring all that data onto a local disk before I play with
it.

Thanks,
Dan Christian
