    It is not UDF / filesystem specific stuff. You can use any other
    filesystem which you like, for example ext4. And in past some people
    really used ext2 on CD-RWs. And on Windows systems before Vista, only
    FAT32 was supported in read-write mode on CD-RW. UDF even on CD-RW was
    read-only.

    So FUSE here really does not help. As we are talking about block
    storage, not filesystem storage.
