This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.
Dear Jolla Community,
As announced in this post, here is an official poll where you can vote and above all contribute by proposing better Open Source File System(s) support on the Jolla Tablet.
As an example, an encrypted microSD card (LUKS) is a possible option.
We really want to drive this with your immensely valuable input, and work together to implement the solutions you want and need.
So please, have your say, discuss and vote on what really matters to you, the Community!
Thank you <3
Jolla Tablet Team
As this is a poll, remember to always set your answer as a wiki post, else you might lose some karma points...
And also have a look to the guidelines tag to learn more about our general practices, thanks!

As a general note: here's the chance to affect something better being supported for open file systems under SailfishOS. Exclude X from device isn't something doing that. Things like, export your files as ext3 over USB, multi-partition support in the device, enablement of swap if existing in file system table, selections in dialogs of ext4/btrfs/ZFS/what do you have, .. even NFS. It's a good time to get creative.
Once we have gathered a good amount of feedback and ideas, we will take the most significant (feasibility, usefulness...) proposals and gather them in a new poll as runner ups for the final decision on what can be implemented.
Let's work this together :)
Why is everything "jolla-tablet"? I thought it is SailfishOS... the then two devices should behave the same, software-wise.

Stskeeps ( 2014-12-03 21:48:49 +0300 )Reading Stskeeps's comment it may be better to retitle the poll and not restrict it to file system support "on SD card" as the tablet has USB host mode and file system support is also essential for devices which are attached to the USB port or connected over the network.
