The Dude in Fat32 or Ext3

Mon Jan 22, 2024 9:17 pm

Hi,

I'm currently installed and setup the dude server and client on the pc, it is working however my disk was formatted in fat32. I can leave the dude on a MicroSD formatted in fat32 running or must it be formatted in using ext3, I see no issues so far.

Running the Dude on a Mikrotik Routerboard Hex-S.

If added disk by default is formatted with fat32 file-system then we recommend to re-format it to ext3 file-system.

RouterOS is a linux

Ext3 which is ext4 according to Mikrotik docs:

Or the Dude is a special case?

I don't see to having an issue running it on fat32 and I can network share the drive between windows and linux on fat32. I can't network share the drive when its on ext3.
