Using USB sticks for transfering files to be printed elsewhere I was wondering what formats can be read by windows. I have beeb using FA on a 2 Gb usb stick but formating a 16Gb usb stick runs into problems.
What problems?
Can windows read Linux formats like ext2 or
ext4 formats.
Short answer: no. To be precise, there is a driver somewhere that reads ext2, but I heard it is not good.
I use NTFS. https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NTFS.
If I need big files, then me too. Otherwise I prefer FAT. Actually, most sticks come designed to use FAT, because the area where the FAT goes has smaller write sectors to minimize wear.
Also ExFAT - but FAT has sofar worked fine for me, for up to 64Gb.
Yes, I bought a 64 GB (GiB?) card the other day, for a tablet, and it came formatted as exfat. My Linux can't mount it. I need to add a third party driver, but I haven't tried yet -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
