Every platform has read write support for UDF. It lacks the 4GiB file size limit of FAT32, supports unicode file names, POSIX permissions, ACL, multiple timestamps, extended attributes, hard links, is case sensitive, and doesn't fragment as badly.
It's not exactly straightforward to sort out what options to pick at mkfs time, I pretty much use defaults except I do specify --media-type hd
For the purpose of the OP's request, chances are the print files being transferred are not anywhere near 4GiB (unless they're images for large format printing) and permissions aren't an issue. So I'd say FAT32 is the easiest to go with. If there's a need to support files bigger than 4GiB I'd probably suck it up and go with exFAT (FAT64). I wouldn't use a journaling file system on USB sticks, it adds a bunch of unnecessary writes. UDF is pretty sane though, the biggest issue is really the lack of obvious user space support to even create the thing. But most distro kernels include it in the kernel since it is the preferred optical media format now (some still use ISO 9660 + El Torito but UDF required for DVD media), and Windows and macOS have supported read write for it out of the box for a long time for similar reasons. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
