Primary store is an SD card. Rsync is used for backup. Therefore
this dilema.
* In Linux, an ext file system avoids those complications. To my
knowledge, all SD cards are preformatted with a FAT. Therefore ext
requires reformatting.
* Most advice about flash storage is to avoid reformatting.
Unfortunately most or all of this advice is written by software
people; none, that I recall, from a flash storage manufacturer.
My own experience, is one SD card about a decade old, reformatted to
ext2 when new and still working. A second SD purchased recently with
factory format unchanged seems very slow in mounting. As if running
fsck before every mount. -8~/
Certainly tempted to reformat the new card to ext2. Information
always welcome. Knowledge even better.
Thx, ... P.
