I am trying to use an USB harddisk to store the backups (pool). This is a Western Digital drive, and I am having problems formatting it to ext3.So: is it possible to have the pool as a FAT32-system? It seems fromthe documentation that is ought to be ext3 or reiserfs, but what are thelimit of choice really here?
You need a filesystem that supports hardlinks, so FAT32 is not going to work.
Also, anyone recognizes the problems of formatting an USB drive? I use Ubuntu Edgy or (on the server it is to run) Debian Sarge, with fairly new hardware.
No, what problem are you having? Nils Breunese.
