Why do you feel it isn't a good filesystem for cros-os storage?
* It's very fragile if media is ejected while writing is not finished (as "just happens" with USB media, SD cards etc) * Not many Consumer electronics devices actually support it, actually I have more devices that can read NTFS than exFAT * the various implementations seem to have lots of bugs. In practice, it does not work too well and there are lots of strange issues. Executive summaries: I have reverted to NTFS for portable storage if I potentially need to access it from Windows. All my consumer electronics embedded devices (Television, Media players etc) work just fine with ext3 or XFS ;-) -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
