| karora | good evening :-) | 09:33 |
| Atamira | mornin | 18:49 |
| ibeardslee | morning | 18:49 |
| ajmitch | morning | 19:12 |
| mwhudson | morning | 19:40 |
| Atamira | question..whats linux standard file system?..ext 2 or fat32? | 19:50 |
| ibeardslee | ext3 ? | 19:51 |
| Atamira | or ext3 | 19:54 |
| ajmitch | or ext4 now for a lot of distros | 19:54 |
| Atamira | so if a external hdd is formatted in fat32..it should work on linux? specially ubuntu? | 19:55 |
| ibeardslee | yes | 19:55 |
| Atamira | well..then i guess im taking this back..cause its not working | 19:56 |
| ibeardslee | is it a big drive? | 19:57 |
| ibeardslee | because I've come across some formatted NTFS | 19:57 |
| Atamira | naa..320gigs. | 19:57 |
| Atamira | its a usb mobile hdd | 19:58 |
| ibeardslee | yup | 19:58 |
| Atamira | works on the windows machine, but not in here | 19:58 |
| Atamira | right..off to jb hifi now that its open | 19:58 |
| ibeardslee | that'll be fun .. because it obviously works (on windows) | 19:59 |
| ibeardslee | you are sure it's fat32 rather than ntfs? | 19:59 |
| ajmitch | any recent external drive I've seen is ntfs | 20:01 |
| ajmitch | which Just Worked when plugging into my laptop running ubuntu | 20:01 |
| Atamira | the guy at the store says its fat32 | 20:01 |
| Atamira | documentation for this thing says fat32 or ntfs | 20:02 |
| Atamira | it works on windows only | 20:02 |
| Atamira | neway..bbiab | 20:02 |
| * ibeardslee nods at the knowledgable staff at places like jb hifi and dse | 20:02 | |
| Atamira | they had to find one who actually did anything on linux | 20:02 |
| Atamira | cant be that good..cause he thought linux was formatted with fat32 | 20:02 |
| Atamira | its a standard he said | 20:02 |
| ajmitch | it's useful having a 1.5TB external drive that I can plug in to my laptop :) | 20:02 |
| ajmitch | in other words they looked around the store for someone who'd seen a linux cd a few years ago but who'd never run it :P | 20:03 |
| Atamira | ajmitch, i have a 1TB one..but i wanted a smaller one to swap with friends at work so i didnt have to lug the terabyte one around | 20:03 |
| Atamira | finding a spare power point at work is a mission | 20:03 |
| Atamira | one of the guys had a 320gb usb external hdd | 20:04 |
| Atamira | quite handy | 20:04 |
| ajmitch | yeah, the ones powered from the usb port are better for mobility | 20:04 |
| Atamira | yep. | 20:04 |
| Atamira | neway..out for a bit | 20:04 |
