The cp -rv showed up a file name with an unprintable character (the file

to stop the writer is to switch it off and after a new switch on no data
have been written to the DVD. It seems that UDF is rather unstable, at
least in the AMD64 branch.
I guess as a 'universal disk format' for all operating systems, it is
bound to be less feature rich than something tailored to linux. It was
specifically developed with RW-media in mind and probably isn't at the
top of fs performance for RAM-media.
UDF is incredibly feature rich. The kernel implementation appears
buggy; I can crash the kernel using a loopback device. I've intended to
go through the code for quite some time now.
I had similar problems with a DVD-Ram disc used for backup when
formatted UDF, so I reformatted it ext3 and no errors for over a year.
Not ideal if you need to share information with non unix OS but you can
read Ext3 partitions from WinXP with the help of the Ext2fs driver.
