The daft party here was TomTom, for choosing FAT for a Linux machine.
Yes, indeed.
However, I have seen several embedded machines with Linux inside, and all of those I managed a peek, use FAT internally. One of them supports external ext2 usb sticks, but the default is fat. I don't know why they all use FAT on their internal filesystem, which nobody is going to use but them. There must be a reason, but which one? The only one is when the device is to be connected to a Windows machine via usb, and the computer gets full access to the filesystem. But on most cases, you get access to the data partition, not to the core or root. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
