  • it might be so in theory, but at least on the linux side, the tool to format in udf (udftools) seems very old and unmaintained, and fails to compile on my machines. Reading will not indeed be an issue since it is the file system used on DVD's. Commented Apr 5, 2012 at 22:20

    In fact, I've had no troubles at all using udftools (downloaded it form arch's AUR, using yaourt). On problem arises though: the disk doesn't have an UUISD after I make it UDF. I first zeroed the disk using dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M and then made the UDF system using: sudo mkudffs --media-type=hd --blocksize=512 /dev/sdb. Now I can mount the disk (/dev/sdb) but it has no UUID so I cannot add it to fstab. Commented Apr 6, 2012 at 12:47
