Hi, for my tablet PC I used a used 32GB FAT32 formatted SDcard. The formatting was already done by the manufacturer. Then I screwed it up and had to do the partioning and formatting myself again. "No big deal", I thought -- and was wrong. Yes, the "thing" I got could be read and written. But it was DAMN slow in comparison to the original formatting.
I googled and found a description, which described exactly, what I wanted: An optimal formatting for one big FAT32 partion. I did it again ;) and: TADA! The speed was back. LINK:http://zero1-st.blogspot.de/2012/05/formatting-fat32-volumes-larger-than.html Now I need the something identical but explained in a way that it can be successfully applied to any partion layout and any SDcard size. Currently the new SDcard has 64GB (yes, the tablet eats that size well :) and needs at least two partions: One FAT32 and one ext4. May be that I need a different layout later. To what aspect and "logic" do I have to keep my eyes on, when it comes partioning/formatting any SDcard size with any partion layout and any filesystem? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, Meino
