Format Systems

[Klumpen]

Greetings!

I have got two new 64gb cards (Samsung) for my Pandora,

which filesystem should I use and why? I already got my Mint to read the exFat it came with and have all the options now with Gparted.

It would be great if it could

- be read by Pandora Angström, Desktop Linux Mint and if possible Desktop WinXP or 7 (not extremely important though)

- shouldn't be too slow

- do not give any trouble with write permissions

- files over 4gb do not really matter (maybe not even later on in a P2 that can play PS2)

- would be grand if the format system alone does not block a whole gig like ext2 did in my tests

Main use is Pandora Angström and Linux Mint.

Same advices for 128gb cards?

Maybe make this thread a sticky?

Wanting it readable by Windoze limits your options rather

I may add, that it's the least important point.

I use ext2 and ext4.  Can't symlink in Fat32 or exFat.
