I am annoyed with using vfat on my USB flash drives because I cannot get proper permissions and ownership. Not for the security (meaningless on a drive that easy to steal, unless encrypted), but annoying anyway.
Is there any technical reason I should not repartition it as something else -- ext3 or xfs, say -- and allow executables and such? ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- [email protected] mailing list
