UDF is natively supported on all major OS.
I haven't used it in macOS but on paper macOS seems to be having even better support for it than Linux so you can give it a shot.
Lastly, you can use https://github.com/JElchison/format-udf https://github.com/JElchison/format-udf for creating most compatible filesystem across different devices.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoOh, the optical disk filesystem! That would be a useful hack. I won’t have problems using it on a standard hdd or ssd?
- kasabali 6y agoIt isn't a 1st class fs in any OS so it lacks some polish tooling-wise etc., but it should work fine for basic file transfer jobs. I'm using it on an external HDD for copying/watching video files between Linux and Windows boxes and haven't had any problems yet. On the other hand 7-8 years ago I tried to use an UDF partition for sharing a common Thunderbird profile between Windows and Linux and had done strange errors on Windows side after a while. I didn't dig further so it may have been a non-udf os or tooling issue, or it may have been solved in the meantime.
