Every OS in the universe supports UDF now, and its the only real ubiquitous non-proprietary filesystem. I use it on all external storage that I cannot guarantee will be touching Linux machines exclusively.




I hadn't realised UDF worked on non-optical storage. That's handy to know. Thanks


Since it was created by the DVD consortium (that I believe gave us DRM in Corrupted Disks), is it also not patent encumbered?


It is ISO 13346, there are no patents on it.
