sd card file system on android

2014-09-23 Thread sara fink
Hello All I am looking for phone models with android (maybe version number) that support sd card formated with ext2 or ext3. Preferable ext2 since it's not journaled. I'd like to save big files (1-2gb each file) on the sd. Thanks ___ Linux-il mailing

It's a kernel future, and you will have to root the device to be able and change the mount option for the sdcard (on /system partition). -- Rabin On Tue, Sep 23, 2014 at 10:04 AM, sara fink sara.f...@gmail.com wrote: Hello All I am looking for phone models with android (maybe version

I think some of the Cyanogen mods support ext4. Also I recall reading somewhere that this might be a feature in Android L, but I can't remember where... On Sep 23, 2014 10:51 AM, Rabin Yasharzadehe ra...@rabin.io wrote: It's a kernel future, and you will have to root the device to be able and

It depends on the device, But probably all will support FAT (not exFAT) as it's the default for the external SDCARD. -- Rabin On Tue, Sep 23, 2014 at 12:15 PM, sara fink sara.f...@gmail.com wrote: What is already enabled in the kernel? FAT/ext2/ext3 ? On Tue, Sep 23, 2014 at 10:50 AM, Rabin

I've heard that some Samsung phones are running F2FS to increase performance/decrease NAND wear. To me it seems likely that if they're enabling that then they wouldn't be squeamish about enabling ext2/3/4. I think the sd card I used in my htc one v was ext4 formatted, but I don't remember now.

Thanks Efraim. I will appreciate it. I can wait a day or two. @Rabin, I'm not interested in fat due to the size limit. On Tue, Sep 23, 2014 at 5:02 PM, Efraim Flashner efraim.flash...@gmail.com wrote: I've heard that some Samsung phones are running F2FS to increase performance/decrease NAND

exFAT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT don't have the same limitation like FAT, And there some (custome) kernels out there which come with exFAT support. -- Rabin On Tue, Sep 23, 2014 at 5:38 PM, sara fink sara.f...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Efraim. I will appreciate it. I can wait a day or

The original poster mentioned wanting to save files larger than 2 Gb. The limit on Fat32 is 4Gb, so I don't see the problem. On Tue, 23 Sep 2014 23:27:51 +0300 Rabin Yasharzadehe ra...@rabin.io wrote: exFAT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT don't have the same limitation like FAT, And there
