UDF fsck (w/ repair mode) for macOS #39

Open gmerlino opened 6 years ago

gmerlino commented 6 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to tackle the (frankly glaring) lack of any repair-enabled UDF fsck under macOS, by (shallow) porting of the still beta (and to-be-merged upstream) fsck, as part of (Linux) udftools (https://github.com/pali/udftools/issues/13).

You can find more details here:

https://github.com/argorain/udftools/pull/1

as well as another contribution of mine (a Homebrew formula):

https://github.com/gmerlino/homebrew-udffsck

so that it is readily a tap-and-install away.

I opened this issue just as a heads up for you (and your community), in case you want to update your wiki:

https://github.com/JElchison/format-udf/wiki/fsck-tools-for-UDF

with some of the aforementioned pointers, and help with testing (the fsck tool) as well.

Thanks for your help (and your great formatter).

Thanks, @gmerlino. Do you have sufficient permission to edit the wiki page yourself?
