That's why I referred you guys to extFAT.
I prefer ext4. ;-)
Yes, but that's not the point. As I said earlier in this thread, if I'm using a thumb drive for backing up Linux I mkfs it with a Linux file system. But as shipped, and the OP did not mention reformatting, smaller drivers are FAT. Larger drives and larger files need exFAT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT As I read it, AFT16 and FAT32 have a file size limit of 4G. my larger sores are cards rather than thumb drives. My largest thumb drive is 16G, a Linux backup of ~anton, formatted as ext4. I can't remember what it was originally. My larger cards, 23G & 64G, are used with my camera and phone and tablet, so have to be compatible, and those don't use the Linux file systems for external storage :-( All those are exFAT. Yes, I'd prefer it if they used ext4, but they don't. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
