Yes, older versions of mkudffs (mkfs.udf) prior to 2.0 did not do any
cleanup. Just write new needed UDF structures to device. UDF itself does
not use first 32kB of disk, therefore any existing FAT/NTFS/ext*
signatures stay there. So ideally prior using older mkudffs erase first
10MB of disk, this should be enough to wipe all existing filesystem
signatures. Or use new version of mkudffs 2.0+.
