Thanks for the helpful input everybody! So, I'll format them with NTFS. This is also what WD external disks come with and probably what a common user expects. Enjoy your summer evening if you're in the northern hemisphere! Am 27.06.23 um 17:31 schrieb Daniel Bauer:
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?
