You can create and modify permissions of individual files (which is not possible with FAT and NTFS).Ī UDF partition will not be prompted for formatting by Windows 10 (while the linux ext4 file system is affected, and can be destroyed by mistake). Maybe it is possible to find repair tools in Windows via this link: fsck tools for UDF, and there is some tool available as source codeĬompatible with linux style permissions. UDF probably lacks tools to repair the file system, There is a detailed description how to install it in this AskUbuntu link:įull compatibility with Linux, Windows and MacOS
There are different versions (of UDF), and we must conclude that the version described here is not supported by MacOS. However, recent tests by the OP, indicates that it does not work. I have no Apple computer, but I have read that MacOS can manage UDF. UDF is a free file system, that works with Linux and Windows.
