So this will involve porting udftools, along w/ the matching kernal modules. And maybe writting a gui front end to mkudffs.
This would make it easier to install/move packages to sd cards, as many apps make use of symlinks and such, which fat32 cant handle.
Anyone else see any merrit in this? If so, I'll go ahead and put the extra effort into it to make it user friendly. Also, am I right about windows being able to use read/write udff media? I know dvds are udf.

Why not just use ext2? It already works, the modules are already on the device and if you really need to access it on windows use this -->

Allows read and write access to ext2 partitions....
