This was meant to ensure that no one technology company could obtain undue influence in the market. Sort of feels a bit like a time-warp back to 1993 right? This basic incompatibility is also the reason that you cannot simply copy your DCP to a thumb drive using your Mac and expect it to work in a digital cinema server.ĭigital Cinema Initiatives, LLC (known as DCI) the company that created the DCP specification worked really hard to make sure that the standard was built on open technologies. Without third party software, your Mac won’t be able to recognize the filesystem of the Linux formatted drive. Any changes you make on files on this system is permanent.This list in the Mac OS disk utility gives us a clue as to which filesystems are supported by the Mac.ĭrives formatted for delivery to digital cinema servers are usually formatted EXT2 or EXT3 for Linux. The only drawback of exFAT is that it doesn’t support Journaling, i.e., cannot keep track of file changes.
You can have a maximum of 4GB size limit per file which is not ideal. Now you can plug into any OS – even Linux, and it will work in reading and write mode. You might argue why not use FAT32 which works for both the OS’s.
Click Start and close this window when finished.In the File System dropdown, choose exFAT.Open up File Explorer and right-click on the drive.Plug-in your drive into the computer’s USB port.
After these steps, everything will be lost forever. It is where exFAT or Extended File Allocation Table comes into the picture. If you don’t know, exFAT was created to be used on flash drives like USB or SD cards. So the question is how do you format a hard drive using exFAT? The answer is even more straightforward.īefore we go ahead, if you have anything on your drive, make sure to backup everything. So I needed a format which is both read and write on both the systems. I am the kind of person who needs to switch between both the OS daily.
