Anyway, a slightly off-topic complaint I have is that my 32GB Cruzer is slow as hell to write to at just a measly 3MB/s. Sheesh. I wonder if it's the size and technical limitation or whether there might be some untested hackery. I was thinking of formatting it in Windows and changing the allocation unit to 64K, but I recall it only helped in reads. It was only formatted a number of times before on Linux. First to get rid of whatever plug-and-play firmware/software bundle it came with, and then to play around with the best partitioning scheme, after which I just had to abandon the idea because Windows didn't want to be friendly with the main partition and Macs just plain ignored the drive entirely. A layman benchmark with two other similar smaller-sized drives, and switching between fat16 and 32, provides a hypothesis that > size == < speed && > fat16 == < speed. A friend has even tried exFat but (1) Linux has only experimental read support for that and (2) its speed is as worse as the worst I am used to.
