Some UDF creators (specifically Microsoft, but perhaps others) mishandle the ECMA-167 corner case that requires descriptors within a Volume Recognition Sequence to be placed at 4096-byte intervals on media where the block size is 4K. Instead, the descriptors are placed at the 2048- byte interval mandated for media with smaller blocks. This nonconformity currently prevents Linux from recognizing the filesystem as UDF. Modify the driver to tolerate a misformatted VRS on 4K media. Signed-off-by: Steven J.
