format-udf writes such a fake MBR for added compatibility on Windows. Unfortunately, there has been no easy way to do this, while juggling all of the other variables (such as device logical block size). This works because UDF (perhaps intentionally) doesn't utilize the first block. The solution, as suggested by Pieter, is to place a fake partition table (via MBR) in the first block of the drive, which lists a single entire-disk partition.

Why?įormat-udf was created to address some OS-specific quirks that prevent a naively-formatted UDF device from working across various operating systems. (See #24 for caveats.) Because of this limitation, the recommendation is to format the entire device. Beware that using this method will render the newly formatted UDF partition unusable on macOS (but still usable on Linux and Windows).
