It does fulfil it, but so does ext2, which you were ruling out by saying |
| 16 |
it had to work everywhere. My main issue with exfat is its lack of |
| 17 |
maturity. I use it for video files but I'm not sure I'd trust something |
| 18 |
critical to it. There again, I'd rather not trust anything critical to a |
| 19 |
USB stick regardless of filesystem. |
