As far as I understand it, the UDF writing support in linux only works
on DVD-RAM and other block devices.  CD-RW unfortunately (at least as
far as I know) is not supported as a block device for random access,
so I don't think you can format and mount a cd-rw yet.  DVD-RAM on the
other hand works perfectly with UDF.

Perhaps somebody has some paches that add support for CD-RW UDF, but it
certainly isn't standard in the kernel yet.
