Revision history [back]

I experienced some weird behaviour with a new 64GB microSDXC SD-Card (amazon-link).
I inserted my new SD-Card and this happened:

• The SD-Card wasn't recognized (I expected this as I saw it's some strange filesystem I never heard before (exFAT) when putting it into my Laptop
• I formatted the SD-Card to EXT4 as it's the filesystem I'm using on all my machines
• The SD-Card still wasn't recognized by my Jolla (UNEXPECTED) ** I couldn't even mount it manually
• I formatted the SD-Card to BTRFS (I never used this on my machines, but I know the Jolla is using this)
• The SD-Card still wasn't recognized by my Jolla (UNEXPECTED) ** I couldn't even mount it manually
• I formatted the SD-Card to vFAT (All other SD-Cards and Storage-pens are using this)
• Now the SD-Card is working fine with my Jolla

So, actually everything is fine for me as the SD-Card is working. But to me it's very strange that the Jolla couldn't cope with very common file-systems like EXT4 or BTRFS. The latter is really weird as it's the file-system Jolla is using on it's internal storage.

Is there some magic I have to put into /etc/fstab to get this file-systems working? I doubt that as I even couldn't mount it manually wieth EXT4 or BTRFS.

Is vFAT the only supported file-system for SD-Cards? If that's the case this is very weird to me as I would expect my Jolla to accept EXT4 and BTRFS too, at least the latter one it's using itself for internal storage.
