Wait, I got confused between UDF and UFS. UDF is Universal Disk 
Format. Its meant for DVDs and Blurays, but since its supported 
by all OSs, its better than NTFS in interoperability. macOS by 
default doesn't allow writing to NTFS. You need to install Fuse, 
or enable experimental write support in macOS. Plus UDF also 
supports Unix permissions, which is a nice extra. Its great for 
small pendrives. I still use ExFat for my USB3 hard disk.

I don't know about UFS.
