It is=20 experimental or is now suitable for storing data? According to wikipedia [1] UDF has open specification format and=20 can be used also for HDDs (not only optical discs). In OS support table is written that all major and other minor OSs=20 support UDF FS (without needs for additional programs). So it looks like UDF is good candidate for multi OS filesystem.=20 Are there any disadvantages for using UDF on e.g USB flash disk?=20 (when I want read/write support on Linux, Windows 7 and Mac OS X) Because lot of manuals say that FAT32 (or NTFS) is only one=20 solution for using USB flash disk on more OS. On wikipedia there is one note about linux: Write support is only=20 up to UDF version 2.01. Is this restriction still valid? What will happen if I try to mount FS with UDF version 2.60 in=20 R/W mode on linux? It will fallback to R/O mode? Or newly written=20 files will be in previous (2.01) versions? And last question: Is there some fsck tool for UDF? Or at least=20 tool which print if FS is in inconsistent state?
