Hi Kevin! You should use -m dvd only in case your crtypdev1 device is
DVD. -m dvd prepares UDF filesystem layout and alignments for DVD media.

So you should not use -m dvd for hard disks.

Also DVDs have block size of 2048 bytes and UDF mandates that medium
block size matches UDF block size. Linux versions >= 4.11 do not have
problems with it, but other operating systems enforce that rule.

So you should not use -b 512 for DVD medias.
