If you don't need the files on the stick (as you mentioned on another |
| 15 |
post), then I'd recommend formatting it using exfat. Works on both Linux |
| 16 |
and Windows. Emerge sys-fs/fuse-exfat and mounting exfat sticks will |
| 17 |
happen automatically, just like as if it was ext4. |

To format the stick you can use sys-fs/exfat-utils (it installs |
| 20 |
mkfs.exfat.) Or format it under Windows. You probably should erase the |
| 21 |
partition first under Linux though so that Windows sees all space as |
| 22 |
unclaimed. Just remember to select exfat instead of fat32 when you |
| 23 |
format it. |
