That depends on what you intend to do with it. Any of the types mentioned in the man pages will work. If this is a pendrive, you might want to use vfat for easy portability between plataforms. Otherwise, it's a matter of taste. I use vfat on my pendrive and ext3 on my 500MB external drive, which never moves from my desktop. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
