Hi,
There are some external 1 and 2TB disks laying around here who got too small for me and I want sell them cheap. Each has an encrypted partition with reiserfs inside.
So, I guess, first I'll have to remove the encrypted partition and make a new one with fdisk. Then add a file-system with mkfs.
Two questions:
- should I use NTFS?
- after installing the file system usually the device belongs to root and I first have to change it to "me-user" before I can write on it as a user.
I don't know about rights on Win or Mac. Is there anything I should/must do so that a Win or Mac-User can use the disks just switching them in?
Thanks
Daniel
I suggest creating NTFS on it. I a buyer is not tech-savvy, they expect a plug-and-play experience. If they want to format it differently, they know what to do. I recently sold a used disk without partition and had to help the buyer to format it. I don't recommend doing it this way.
