This is a different issue. Older versions of mkfs.udf did not wipe all locations on disk where other filesystems (previous filesystems on the media) could have their identifications. So mount finds exfat signature, tries to mount the device as FAT which fails (as UDF has already overwritten lots of its metadata). Right, Pali?

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+.
