Uhm, the real value of UDF is that it can be used as a "real" rw filesystem on CDRW/DVDRAM media, if this is not implemented the value of having UDF is very limited IMHO.... > In the meanwhile you should be able to mount most modern DVDs using > the ISO9660 filesystem as they should be "bridge" format, (in which > there is metadata for both types of filesystems). Endeed, makeing a ro UDF filesystem more or less useless :) -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
