Of course you can. I formatted a 16GB USB stick with
different partitions.
One thing I noticed, was plugging in the USB drive with it
formatted as a default factory drive - Fat32 IIRC - made it
automount after plugging it into the USB port. Then I was
writing some data to it from Midnight Commander, and got
tons of 'Network Error' messages, as mc was trying to write
to the drive??
So I dumped the Fat32 partition, and reformatted it to
ext2 and ext3 partitions.
Anyone else noticed those sorts of errors writing to a USB
flash drive?
Kind Regards,
