That's a good tip, and I do use exFat on some pendrives. But due to the lack of journaling, and its buggy performance on macOS ( https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/exfat-file-system-save-henk-smit-ragzf https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/exfat-file-system-save-henk-s... ) I wouldn't recommend it for long-term use on any fixed drives with data you care about. My research lead me to conclude that NTFS implementations are the least buggiest non-native file systems on Linux and macOS.
- saghm 9mo agoInteresting, I wasn't aware of the exFAT issues on MacOS. I can't remember exactly the last time I tried to use a USB drive like this, so it's possible that it might be further back than I thought and it was when NTFS didn't have write support out of the box for me on Linux.
