Subject: [gentoo-user] Reformat/repartition USB flash drive to ext2/3?
Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2006 21:56:51 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9acccfe50611182156g34d2582av37ee1fc2684fe19a@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I am annoyed with using vfat on my USB flash drives because I cannot
get proper permissions and ownership. Not for the security (meaningless
on a drive that easy to steal, unless encrypted), but annoying anyway.
Is there any technical reason I should not repartition it as something else
-- ext3 or xfs, say -- and allow executables and such?
