It does fulfil it, but so does ext2, which you were ruling out by saying it had to work everywhere. My main issue with exfat is its lack of maturity. I use it for video files but I'm not sure I'd trust something critical to it. There again, I'd rather not trust anything critical to a USB stick regardless of filesystem. -- Neil Bothwick A real programmer never documents his code.
