Dear Maintainer,

Given that most current popular OSs now support reading from / writing
to UDF formatted storage, UDF makes a useful OS agnostic, standardised
filesystem for use in heterogenous environments.

Also, because UDF supports ignoring of hardcoded UID/GID permissions,
UDF would still be a suitable choice for removable media used across
different installations of e.g. Debian.

A drawback to using UDF on larger sized volumes is the current lack of
a fsck.udf type utility for checking and repairing UDF filesystems
should they develop any errors.

Hey.

FIY: It seems netbsd developed a fsck for UDF[0], but it would require
porting to LInux.

Cheers,
Chris.
