Hi,
UFS is commonly used on CD/DVD-R. Thus it’s a disk file system. It’s
even for removable disks (CD). Since there’s support for UFS in
cdfs.sys(?), is it possible to UFS-format a HD-partition ?
Should be, souldn’t it?
Why has noone ever heared about that?
People have heard about it. What does it buy you? There are UDFS drivers
for Linux that will work on a hard disk
MS chose to only support read-only UDFS

The file system is UDF. The spec is own by Osta (www.osta.org). You
can think of it as a sub-set of the ISO 13346/ECMA 167 spec.
In Win2k, WinXP, Win2k3 it is implemented in the file udfs.sys. In
Windows it is a read only filesystem. Which is why you can’t format a
HD to it in Windows.
However 3rd party products, like Adaptec’s Direct CD, to write UDF to
disks.
There is no technical reason why UDF would not work on a HD, and I
imagine that some 3rd party has probably made a FS driver for Windows to
support read/write UDF on a HD with a corrisponding format util.

Maybe you mean UDF? DVDs use UDF file system.
Writeable UDF is IIRC still not there.

Of course, I meant UDF. Don’t know what rode me at the time of writing…
