Hi,
I recently switched from using Windows to MacOS and I've always run the HDD attached to the Pi, and an external backup HDD as exFAT Since moving to MacOS, I've learned the hard way that MacOS doesn't play nice with exFAT where the disc was formatted on Windows (which uses a default allocation size of 4096) - from what I can see, MacOS only supports allocation sizes up to 1024 I use GoodSync on MacOS to backup between the drive normally connected to the Pi and my backup drive btw So I guess I have two questions: 1. would changing to allocation size of 1024 have much impact on performance? (either in use on the Pi, playback, re-indexing etc, or when backing up) 2. is there a better format than exFAT that will work on both the Pi and MacOS (and ideally Windows too, just in case, but not a deal breaker) 3. Other options? (e.g. running Windows on my MacBook Air M1?) For reference, I have c6TB of music files (almost entirely FLAC) Any help or experience would be welcome - thank you in advance... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PugRallye's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17668 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116081 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
