Hi All,

I've bought a new microsd and formatted it with ext2 filesystem instead of vfat. I copied the contents from the original card to the ext2 card on my linux box and inserted that into my DR800S.

It works. My DR800S seems more responsive and the reindexing is definately faster. Can anyone else confirm?

This will not be helpful to windows users as that OS neither supports ext2. I have managed a test on a windows device since, and contrary to my speculation in a thread in de iRex dev forum the disk exports it's native format. The disk my DR800S with ext2fs emulates is recognized as a disk but the partition is not.

Regards Bran
