Mysuecase is specific. I don't use metadata lookups. I use koreader. I actually don't mind that the filename be truncated, beause in the target directory, koreader displays metadata. But when I dort things into
/books/History/Author/title.epub
/books/Psychology/Author/title.epub
(it's actually more complicated than that)
I randomly get paths like
/books/Hstry/Auhor/title.epub
/boks/History/Auor/title.epub
/books/Psychology/Ar/title.epub
/boks/Psyclgy/Author/title.epub
When there are series in the paths and/or subtitles for academic titles, this makes finding things in a reader packed with 300 books difficult at the worst; unpleasant, and ugly at the least.
Reformatting a drive is a comfort zone. I'm a published linux support analyst. the path to the career began because of my first Nook and Kindle jailbreak enjoyments. There are a few ways to do it, but I would like to hear what works for others first. Someone posted a write-up elsewhere of using loopback images for a full Alpine environment which sounds kinda neat
My secondary need for ext4 (or similar) is the use of links to put books into multiple #subject directories like "anthologies" or "short fiction." I know Koreader has its own "shortcuts" feature, which is great, but this is a custom method that I'd worked out on my pc, however vfat doesn't support links (or other useful features).
I'm curious to see if the 4.x kernel the Sage uses includes btrfs support. It did not last time, but kernels can be compiled. Getting the userspace btrfs-progs onto it wouldn't be impossible, and I'd have reflink clones, compression, data protection, snapshots of config directories, and most importantly... write leveling on the card. Anyway, a man can dream...
