Has anyone tried formatting their external SD card to a file system other than FAT32? I'm a habitual ROM jumper, so it's important that it still mounts under CWM, and I'm trying to skirt the 4GB file size limitation.
Can i keep my 32gb micro sd in ntsf format? or will my gs3 not like it?
Short answer No
It will make you re-format and you will lose the data on the card.
I had this problem when I first installed my new Micro SD card.
Exfat
format your sd card as ExFat.. That will let you use it to store files larger than 4gb. I currently have a 32gb card formatted as ExFat and have 3 1080p movies at about 6-8gb each loaded. works great and I dont notice any slowedowns becuase of the format type.
give it a go, just backup your card first and then copy it all back after you have formatted! :good:
ok ill format exfat asap. thank you.... on a different note, i was reading that the note supports ntsf. so i just figured the gs3 would.
Wouldn't flashing the Siyah kernal give him ntfs support? I use this kernal and I can connect a 1Tb harddisk formatted in ntfs. Havent tried it with an sd card though
I've formatted the SD card as FAT32 and CMW recovery still telling me cannot mount SD card.
What is the best partition format (NTFS, Ext2/3/4, FAT32, etc) for a 32gb External SD Card?

Try NTFS because it provides more space. FAT32 is by default.
Can I format my sd card to fat32 without having to put it into a Windows machine?
