I am having the following issue. I have an UDF partition for interoperability between Linux and windows on a dual boot system (having some VM hard disks images there). All was okay, I could read from and write to the partition on windows and Linux. But now I discovered that windows cannot write to the partition anymore because it sees it as read-only, Linux is still okay with it for writing.

Tried to unmount the partition in Linux and then reboot, did not make any difference, still not writable.

By the way I am using Windows 10 and Ubuntu 17.04 with udftools.

This happen on Windows when UDF filesystem is in inconsistent state or damaged. Try to run chkdsk.exe and see if it reports some problems. Windows's chkdsk.exe supports checking for errors also on UDF filesystem. If there are really errors, you can try to fix them by specifying /F parameter... but I was told that chkdsk.exe /F in some cases when trying to repair broken UDF, damage it even more.
