Bug#699360: gnome-disk-utility: UDF partitions support, should replace NTFS
Package: gnome-disk-utility Version: 3.6.1-1 Severity: wishlist I wanted to try out UDF on a USB stick because of this article: http://tanguy.ortolo.eu/blog/article93/usb-udf Unfortunately gnome-disks doesn't appear to support UDF at this time, even if I put udf or UDF into the custom format field. I had udftools installed at the time I tried this. Based on that article, I think UDF should replace FAT as the default format for the Compatible with most systems situation. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers experimental APT policy: (1900, 'experimental'), (1800, 'unstable'), (1700, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: armel armhf Kernel: Linux 3.7-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-disk-utility depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.14.0-1 ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii gconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 3.2.5-1+build1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.6.0-1 ii libc62.16-0experimental1 ii libcairo-gobject21.12.10-1 ii libcairo21.12.10-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.4-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.34.3-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.6.4-1 ii libpango1.0-01.30.1-1 ii libpwquality11.1.1-1 ii libsecret-1-00.11-1 ii libudisks2-0 2.0.1-1 ii udisks2 2.0.1-1 -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

While we can certainly add support for UDF, changing the default is something entirely else. I don't even think we have a default in g-d-u. Or what exactly do you mean by that?

Or what exactly do you mean by that? g-d-u in experimental has a rewritten UI and includes defaults for several different scenarios. In any case, I overlooked one detail in that blog post, UDF is read-only in Windows XP. I imagine there is a lot of Window XP out there still so the default should not be changed. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Looks like we just need to update to a newer release [1] to get udf support.

Hmm, I note the code does not use the --media-type= parameter. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
