Feature changed by: Ancor Gonzalez Sosa (ancorgs) Feature #326877, revision 3 Title: [LATE_ENTERED] Add option of UDF format to Yast partition manager Requested by: Ilya Chernykh (ansus) Requested by: Matthias Eckermann (mge1512) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: [Copied feature: for SLE 15 SP1] UDF is an universal disk format file system, which can be used on optical rewritable and non-rewritable media, USB flash drives and hard drives. The file system is supported by all modern operating systems, including Windows, BSD, MacOS X, Solaris, OS/2|eComStation, BeOS|Haiku as well as Linux kernel, making it one of the best choices to use when transferring data between platforms. UDF also has optional built-in ability to minimize wearing-off of rewritable media with limited rewrite cycles such as flash, CD-RW and DVD-RAM by evenly distributing load over the media, including access to the allocation table. Despite this Yast2 partition manager does not suggest option to format a volume into UDF, thus forcing to use a mkudffs command line tool. Relations: - Add option of UDF format to Yast partition manager (feature/childof: 312911) - Add option of UDF format to Yast partition manager (feature/copiedfrom: 312911) Discussion: #1: Jiri Srain (jsrain) (2018-11-13 12:06:27Z) I know that this is coming late, therefore on best-effort basis (and, probably, also based on the bugzilla status during beta phase). + #2: Ancor Gonzalez Sosa (ancorgs) (2018-11-20 11:24:00) + Adding UDF to the list of supported file-systems to be offered when + formatting a device wouldn't be rocket science. + But take into account that so far CDs and DVDs are not listed in the + YaST Partitioner. So, a minimal change that could be ready on time (and + I'm not promising anything) would be making it possible to use UDF in + the devices that are currently listed in the Partitioner. + CD and DVD support in the Partitioner is something I wouldn't bet my + money to see in SLE-15-SP1. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/326877
