(Packet-based CD-Rs are finally becoming more common) Those are designed to be handled more like normal media - e.g. recent Linux kernels are reported to handle UDF on DVD-RAM just by mounting the device as a writable filesystem. Presumably we could hack the UDF driver to have a mount option which would force all files on the specified device to have the append-only attribute set (compressed might also make sense and would probably improve write performance).
