Android and the 64 billion bytes question.

[Ira Abramov]

Now do you format a 64GB SDXC card to use with Android? the opinions on
the web are all over the place. some say it's OK to keep ExFat (it came
formatted) since it's pretty stable in FUSE and the Cyanogenmod supports
it. others say one should partition it down to two 32GB parts of Fat32
for compatibility with older OS in case you need to reset (also I found
my version of CWM does not read ExFAT). Others say ext2 is the way to
go, or ext3 (Windows machines won't support that easily, but I don't
care since I don't run one).

Basically it's a question of what FS is the most convenient, stable,
safe and speed-optimized for flash. The forums people argue but I feel
none of them have serious ways to back up their opinions. If you have
any facts or educated opinions, I'd be happy to learn.
