There should be. *** http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/6.3/multimedia/udftools.html udffsck is used to check the integrity and correct errors on UDF filesystems. *** So "udftools" package should contain "udffsck" but it seems it's not available in Debian package :-? http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/udftools > Next, while I realize that UDF "spreads the writes around" and makes the > disks last longer, I am using them for long-term archive rather than > something like a daily backup.

Even though it is possible to use any file system one likes, only very few perform well on DVD-RAM.
