Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility

The choices of filesystems to format a disk with do not include the udf filesystem. This should be added. In order to properly use a dvd+rw, you need to format a udf filesystem on it, but there is no simple way to do this presently.

It would also be useful to those of us who want to use UDF on our flash drives / cards.

This appears to have been fixed at some point over the last 8 years. There is now an "other" option that opens another dialog that includes udf as an option.
