On the other hand #exfat may take longer - you have big hardware that isn't going to get updates and doesn't have exfat support because it was built before 2019 and won't be retired/upgraded until it breaks and they don't have spare ones in the warehouse. Might take decades realistically. Gatekeeping exfat was probably a top 10 #Microsoft blunder for tech in the last 10 years.

Estaba algo preocupado cuando lei por ahi que la nueva actualización del #DSM a 7.3 no soportaría #exFAT en mis #Synology.

La aclaración es simple: DSM 7.3 ya incluye la licencia, mientras que para versiones anteriores a la version 7, requieren la COMPRA de la licencia para poder acceder a estar unidades.

wieder was gelernt: künftig #exFAT, nicht #vFAT für usbsticks etc verwenden..

En vieläkään oikein tiedä, mitä #tiedostojärjestelmä'ä #Linux'issa pitäisi #irtokiintolevy'illä kuten muistitikuilla käyttää. Yleensä olen käyttänyt #ext4:ää ilman #journaali'a, mutta en ole lainkaan varma, onko se optimaalinen. #exfat tietysti sopisi muuten kuin nyrkki hanuriin, mutta #käyttöoikeudet menisivät vinksin vonksin. #floss #muistitikku #atkjuttuja

Um Backups auf ein #Samba oder #NFS #Share auszulagern, braucht es gar kein Addon. Das geht otb mit Bordmitteln.

Ich würde gern, nach der Erfahrung, dass die komplette Konfiguration sowie #Datenbank weg waren (komplett leerer Ordner /homeassistant) gerne diese auf ein vernünftiges #Dateisystem wie #ext4 oder #ZFS auslagern.

#exFat ist, basierend auf #Fat32 einfach #FailByDesign und nicht zeitgemäß.

Ich wiederhole mich hier:
Wie man auf die Schnapsidee kommen kann, ein #Linux basiertes System mit einem exFat Dateisystem auszuliefern, ist einfach komplett unverständlich und 🤡🤡🤡

#Homeassistant #HA

Ja, in der Tat, aber ca. 48 Std früher.

Liegt dann wohl an dem völlig unverständlichen #exFat als #Dateisystem von #Homeassistant.

Wie kann man nur bei einem #Linux auf so eine Schnapsidee kommen. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤡

I wanted to store some #BorgBackup archives on an #exFAT disk so that any operating system (not just #Linux) could easily read it, but Borg needs a journaling #filesystem. 😢

In theory, there isn't any reason why journaling can't be implemented on FAT 🤔 but everybody probably doesn't consider it worth the effort.

#NTFS would work too, except some of the #Linux machines I run Borg on are running Debian Stable, whose old kernel lacks the ntfs3 driver. 🤦‍♂️
