Hi all. Actually, full read/write support can be achieved using Captive. Its already been done in Rip (Recovery Is Possible) Linux. I'm not sure if other distros have already used it. Captive 
can be found at http://jankratochvil.net/projects/captive. I've got it working on my laptop...Quite nice actually.
