A few months ago on some other mailing list it was suggested to use UDF as a "lingua franca" filesystem -- at least in theory every major operating system should be able to use it. I've always wanted to try it, but I've never been able to find something akin to newfs_udf or something similar, and mkhybrid also does not seem to be able to generate UDF filesystems. Allegedly, Macs have a newfs_udf command, but that of course does not help much. Has anybody tried something similar and got it to work? I do not depend on such a thing, I'm merely curious. And also, it would be very nice for USB sticks. Bye, Stefan
