I find it hard to believe any device that can read a DVD doesn't support UDF. That would be a very dumb design choice. UDF was designed for read/write use. iso9660 was very much designed for read only. It is much more complex to update an iso9660 filesystem after it is created. It just wasn't meant for it. -- Len Sorensen -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
