Comment 8 for bug 601361

Hi Kurt,

Thanks for the URL btw, but I believe that is the forum post that I used to learn about the mkudffs command originally.

It seems that mkudffs with the syntax they used does indeed laydown a udf filesystem on the disc, and I am able to read/write/delete from the disc, but it seems to stall on anything more than a megabyte or two, and ever stalls out some of the system daemons after umount and fs sync until I force eject the disc (since it never finishes writting it seems).

To give you an idea, the drive was writting for about 2 hours straight for a simple udffs based disc with a 800mb copy of the linux git tree. However, using standard mkfs.ext2 on the disc, allowed me to write the same git tree to the disc in only 10 or 15 minutes, and without any problems like daemons blocking and locking up the system (like nautalis). But even with mkfs, I did notice that the writes still seemed to be taking place post umount occassionally. But for the most part, mkfs seems to work great.
