Masatran / Deepak, R.:
Recently, I re-partitioned my flash drive. I made one FAT32 partition, and
one Ext3 partition.
Is ext3 on a flash medium really a good idea? At least cheap flash
drives probably don't have smart wear levelling.
And FAT32 is better?
Let's us all start a movement, an exFat on Linux movement. exFat is a
relatively new FS that is designed specifically for removable drives.
It is superficially an "extended FAT", while the underlying bits are
new. MS has added it to Vista with SP1, and to XP with a hotfix.
Everyone should hope someone competent takes the time to port it to
Linux, with full write capability. It is exactly what OP needs.
In the meantime, for removable drives 32G and under, one should probably
stick to FAT32/vfat.
