UDF was designed for write once and RW situations, initially for Magneto-Optical drives. Later, sequential write once ability for CD-R was added to the existing random write once ability. The focus of UDF design was interchangeability. There is nothing in UDF that would have better performance characteristics over ext2 on DVD-RAM. You wouldn' be able to use ext2 on -R media, but that's not the issue. Further, the Linux UDF fs is buggy. -- Rob
