Can't format 64 GB USB flash drives as FAT32?

[snip] There are limitations to FAT32 partition sizes as far as I know. The same way that FAT16 was limited to 2GB (if I remember correctly), FAT32 has limitations of 4GB for file sizes so it would be an issue for you going forward and the filesystem is therefore to be avoided. https://wiki.vuze.com/w/FAT32_file_size_limit FAT(32) is limited by the use of a 32-bit field to store the number of sectors on a disk. 2 ^ 32 * 512 = 2TB. This is the limit for FAT32. BTW, the same number is the limit for physical drives with MBR. -- 29 days until the winter celebration (Sunday December 25, 2016 12:00:00 AM for 1 day).
