There's another thing i'd like to ask/point out about mkudffs...

when formatted in Linux with UDF revision 1.5, a windows machine with ..... is not able to read the disc. I used the udf-verifier to compare the disc formatted with the windoze machine vs the Linux machine, and got this:

windoze machine :

Note the UDF Entity Identifier on the mkudffs formatted disc... this doesn't seem right...?  i specified the UDF revision to be 1.5!


Is there something i'm missing out on, or did i actually spot a bug? :)
