I'll be the first person to admit that I know nothing about the UDF
filesystem.  To me, UDF means "United Dairy Farmers"  :-)
But in my experience, NEVER build a file system on an entire disk.
Always create a partition on the disk, then build a file system on
the partition.  I suspect that that is your problem.  Unfortunately,
that will not be of much help to you at this point.  But it may prevent
you from making that mistake in the future.

Doctor:    Well, stay out of those places!
