OK. Does the UDF image you created correctly show up as CD-ROM content in 
Linux, e.g Fedora?

The Fedora image I have (Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-26-1.5.iso) does not contain a valid UDF file system, so you cannot use it for testing.

To make sure it really doesn't, I used a "Philips UDF Conformance Tool" that you can grab in [1], and the tool didn't find any valid UDF file system in it.

I've been using an unmodified Windows 10 Enterprise image that does contain a valid UDF bridge disk image (ISO9660+ElTorito+UDF) to perform my tests.

Additionally, I use an USB stick that I format it with 'sudo mkudffs -b 512 --media-type=hd /dev/sdX' and copy some files to it for testing

BTW, when testing with OVMF AARCH64, I was using my USB stick that showed up correctly as 'fsX' in UEFI shell, but with the Windows 10 Enterprise ISO image, it didn't. I looked at the logs to see what was going on and I found out that the emulated CD-ROM drive is reporting a block size of 512 instead of 2048 -- which seems wrong to me. With 'qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom', it reports a block size of 2048.

The Partition driver is still able to find a valid ElTorito partition because, regardless the device block size, it always use a logical block size of 2048 starting at 32K. In UDF, when searching for AVDPs (Anchor Volume Descriptor Pointers), we search for them at fixed locations: 256, N - 256, N and 512 -- but, with a block size of 512, the locations change to 1024, N - 1024, N and 2048 -- thus breaking the volume recognition sequence.

For testing the Windows image with a block size of 512, I used the comformance tool with './udf_test -verbose 60 -blocksize 512 ~/img/win_ent10.iso' and it failed to find a valid UDF file system. But with a block size of 2048, it worked.

Is there any reason for reporting a block size of 512 when using '-cdrom' option in qemu-system-aarch64? Is that a bug? Or am I missing something here?

Thanks!
Paulo

Hi Laszlo,
How could we configure the Qemu and test the UDF driver on OVMF?

I guess you would format e.g. a DVD image with UDF, and attach it to
QEMU like any other CD-ROM.

I tried to look into this -- I tried several things, but nothing
produced an UDF image file that, when attached to the VM, would show up
in the UEFI shell as FSn:

Google returned a bunch of pages, but all I found was:
- tips that didn't work (see above),
- confused users (like me) looking for solutions.

So, at the moment, I have no idea how authoring UDF DVD images is
possible on Linux, so that they'd be recognized in edk2.

(I'm interested in the edk2 UDF driver not because I want to "author"
UDF DVD images (ISO9660+ElTorito works just fine), but because some
optical media images that were given to me are formatted UDF-only. They
can be translated into ISO9660+ElTorito off-line, but that's a chore.)

Thanks,
Laszlo
