Hi,
I'd like to fill it up with some films but fat32 doesn't, as you know, support files above 4 GB.
Is it possible to create a second partition in f.ex. exFat or NTFS?
Cheers.

Internal memory is using ext4, which already supports 'unlimited' file size.
It's because of the MTP. Use PTP for big files.

Does anybody know the best partition table for the TF? I'm using a used microsd but the partition tables are weird on it and im trying to optimize the card for maximum storage.
you mean best file system?

no, like the size of the partitions. Dont you need a certain size for the swap partition?
there's a TF kernel that supports using the microsd for swap.

Hi alls, I bought a Kingston (8GB class 4) microSD for my TF101.
what format should I format it? ExFat,FAT32,NTFS?
I'm using a rooted device with last Revolution ROM.
thank you very much.
FAT32
If u want to watch mkv 720p files without conversion u will nees NTFS format as it supports files bigger than 4GB. I am using same set up as you and it work without any problems.

The TF101 is missing the option to format the external sd. That way the right filesystem and blocksize would be applied automatically.

There are apps for that. And I think you can do it through shell/terminal too (not sure though)
@Mr.corny, what kind of files do you have ? I have no 720p movie thats over 4GB in size... 1080p is a different matter though...
edit: actually I just found one that was 4.5GB...
Hi.
I was wandering is there any way to format the microSD card on teh TF300T?
If so what is the filesystem used/permited?
I would like to put some home videos, that are bigger than 4Gb, and the Fat32 filesystem doesn't let it.
If you want to use the card in Windows computers as well as the tablet, format it with NTFS. If you're just using it in the tablet, ext4 is the best. Note that Windows doesn't support ext4 (or anything that isn't FAT or NTFS for that matter; it won't acknowledge the card at all), so be aware.
Edit: I don't think you can format the card in the tablet. It was removed from ICS. You'll need to use a computer or an Android phone (pre-ICS).
"I'm a PC." So I will format it to NTFS. Too bad i have to use the computer.
Thank you.
Just formated my microSD to NTFS and it works just fine.
Thank you for the advice.

How do you format the sd card on here. On my phone it's in setting under storage but on the tablet I don't see it.
I used my computer to format a SanDisk 64 GB card but it reads it as 29gb only. I'm not sure what format it was I missed used the default it gave.

Hmmm...
Good question!
I wonder if you un-mount the card\remove it\wipe it with win disk management\reinsert\mount...if the tab will write it's file system to the card.
I checked my Samsung card and it's fat32.
I've never formatted it from windows.
I bought the card inserted it in the tablet and have been using ever since.
I'm curious about this too!
Anyone...anyone...

Fat32format tool will break the windows limits, just google for it and it will format any size.
I'll try these ideas thanks. But how can I format the card while it's in the tablet.

You can't format it directly from your tf700, it doesn't have the format function, but you could with your phone (the one that support external sd card).
For people that are trying to reformat their Sandisk Ultra Microxdsc 64gb uhs-1 card from exFat to FAT32, check this site:http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm. it did it in about 10 sec. Now when I boot to TWRP it sees the external card. Enjoy:good:

If your tablet is rooted and you have busybox installed, you can use mkdosfs from a terminal app or adb.

Old thread I know but maybe people searching will come across this solution ...
Assuming you have CWM (or possibly TWRP but I haven't checked) you can boot recovery, choose mounts & storage, format sdcard1 then choose your preferred filesystem.
I'm copying an mkv file less than 800mb to my sandisk which is formatted to NTFS. It used to work before and all of a sudden, I can't copy/move/delete things on the usb from the tab, any suggestions?
Backup the contents of the drive.
Format to exFAT.
NTFS is Microsoft. Android doesnt like it.

if that doesn't work try fat32 . both of my 64gb class 10 have to be this format for everything to be read accordingly.

Same, I use fat32. FAT is much more linux/android friendly
What I don't like though is the 4gb limit on files for fat 32, is there any way to go around that besides splitting the files?
Just did a short read on exfat, thanks for that
+1 for fat32. I've never had any problems with any of my devices running it.
