Was hoping for some internal mechanics, like how FAT physically works on the disk. How NTFS, ext4, JFS, etc. work.
@AndreVanKammen
@AndreVanKammen 3 жыл бұрын
The FAT has a table of numbers that form linked lists (every number contains the index of the next number). The directory entry has a list of files and their names (12 letters in my time). The entry contains the length in bytes and the index of the 1st FAT entry. These FAT numbers of 8, 12 , 16 or 32 bits are multiplied by a blocksize to get a position on the disk to store the file or directory.

There's also the very rarely mentioned option that is supported by all major operating systems: UDF. It is used on DVDs and CD-RW, but can be used on other block media too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Disk_Format#Compatibility Cameras and such tend to follow SD and Design rule for Camera File system specifications, which include use of FAT/FAT32/ExFAT. A weakness of UDF nowadays is volume size; it runs into limits over 2TiB, which hard drives and SSDs have now reached. It seemed pretty big back in 1995. It's not a hard problem to solve (FAT has had 6 such generation bumps), but interest is limited since Blu-Ray hasn't reached that size.

You can format an sd card as ntfs, you can easily install an ntfs driver on Linux so you can read and write. IMO transferable solid state storage should all just use xfs. It's open source, flexible, optimised for solid state storage etc. Apple and Microsoft should just agree on this one, exfat is terrible, there is no reason not to use a journaling file system in this day and age.

Even when I do a persistence mode USB, it tends to do like 4 to 5GB with the OS filesystem then the persistence partition is seperate - but locked down. This has given me an idea to try different filesystems. thanks

I had an experience with recent (for that time) ubuntu 20.04 and I couldn't mount fat32-formatted flash drives. For this reason, now all my flash cards which I plug-in both to linux and windows machines, are formatted in ntfs. And yes, it seems this concerns only rw mode, when one needs to specify -o options for sudo mount. If read-only access is needed, it seems everything is mounted, but -o options are not required.

7:10 That section is misleadingly titled. None of those things is unique to NTFS or any other journaling filesystem for that matter. Virtually all filesystems do adhere to these three fundamental things. When you delete or move a file to another directory in a FAT filesystem, the same thing applies, the data is NOT TOUCHED, only the metadata changes (Are these blocks free or used?, Where is the file and what's its name?). There are some weirdness regarding this in Windows sometimes, I have noticed. (sometimes when moving (cut and paste) a big folder structure to someplace else it takes a long time, as if Windows checked all permissions or something for everything multiple times during the move, while this doesn't happen on Linux, since moving anything within the same filesystem is "just a rename".

Formatting my external T7 4TB ssd to NTSF resolved loss of data issues. The journalling system of NTSF kept data loss to a minimum, and linux mint reads and writes to NTSF drives without issues.

Go to a device with usb port 3.0 then use a box for your external hard drive that support usb 3.0 speed. Then you should to have a new Linux OS ( try latest fedora ) Then pluggin your that external harddrive. And pluggin an other hard drive that formated with ntsf. Copy and past file by file or folder by folder directly from your old harddrive with exfat to the new formated one with ntfs. Be sure you copy at same time not more than 4GB. Even you copy all files. Then use that new ntfs external hard drive. The old one should format it wity other format type.

In the world of Linux distributions, the difference between FAT32 and exFAT is that FAT32 support is probably installed by default, but exFAT may not work until you cast the proper magic spell to invoke it (i.e., request installation of the proper obscure package from "the repositories"). This reflects that there exists an open-source implementation of FAT32 for Linux, and nobody seems to think any unexpired patents cover FAT32, and neither of these points is as clear when it comes to exFAT.

I'll watch the video again but I'm just trying to figure out what's seems to be going on with my camcorder. Now from your explanation of fat32 I had my camcorder running a test on a 32gb sd card and it 1 hour and a couple of minutes for my max amount of time and that was because of how much space was on the card. Now it was set to 1080p and when the record button was it recorded for around 15 minutes and then started a second file automatically but there was a gap in the recording. I've tried this also with a 400gb micro sd card to sd card adapter and the same thing occurred. Any tips would be appreciated. I just thought this was a little fishing when trying to record with my dslr (camera) it can record for 30 minutes max but that's because the company said if it can record for longer it should classified as a camcorder and not a camera.

When you type "select disk 2" Type: detail disk This will give you all information about the disk you selected ( read abd be sure that disk you want to format ). Type now(be carefull now and ensure that you select the right one): clean After a while the disk be clean ( that mean now is full of free storage. But unllocated. Should create a partition). So before create a partition you should to convert it first: Type: convert gpt ( if you have a removable flash drive you should to convert to mbr "convert mbr" the gpt is for large harddrive. Now create a partition: Type: create partition primary ( if you want to spicify any size just type size=x next to primary (replace x with numbers of your size with bytes) But if you just type "create partition primary" without any size that allow you to use all full storage that in your drive. Then type: format fs=ntfs label="mySSD" quick (If you have any issue now. Just type again "format fs=ntfs quick") Then type: assign letter=F ( type any letter you want to assign to your ssd ( choose available letter ) ) Then type: exit Congratulation you now use full capacity of full GB of your ssd with safety way.

​@@GaryExplains Not to mention factors like video streaming and SSD prices surely slowed down drive's expansion lately and put us on a storage size plateau. My father's top notch PowerMac had a 10GB HDD in the year 2000 (we upgraded it to a bigger one but it could only use 120GB, if I recall properly), his iMac had a 1TB drive in 2010, my PC runs fine on a 240GB SSD. Sorry, I mostly wanted to make an environmentalist joke ;-)

If you think you will use it with other non-Windows machines like a Mac, NAS, or even a SmartTV then leave it as exfat. If you know you will only use it Windows then you might want to reformat it as NTFS.

2TiB is right at the limit of what FAT32 supports, but Windows tends to hide the option past 32GiB. It may have made exFAT, which is not natively supported by Linux before 5.4; you may want to try exfat-fuse or similar.

And yes, FAT32 is the first release in 1995 (i.e. Windows 95). NTFS is the second release in 2001 (i.e. Windows XP), whereas exFAT is the third release in 2006 (i.e. Windows Vista SP1).

I don't quite understand the point you are trying to make. NTFS was released in 1993 with Windows NT 3.1.

@GaryExplains
@GaryExplains 3 жыл бұрын
Ext2 and ext3 have been superseded by ext4. The guy that invented ReiserFS was put in jail for killing his wife. JFS is from IBM and was/is also used in AIX. XFS was created by SGI back in the 90's for IRIX. It is supported by most Linux distributions, some of which use it as the default file system. The most interesting is probably btrfs as it supports volumes, snapshots etc.
