No, until somebody figures out how to do write support on udf on the
fly, your directcd disks will only be read-only like Joseph
said. Actually, I'm surprised that an apparently directcd disk mounted at
all under udf.
There is some info about this in the cd-writing howto in the FAQ
section I
believe. You would have that under
/usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/CD-Writing-HOWTO, if you've got the howtos
package installed.
