http://www.iamnotageek.com/a/24-p1.php this says FAT32 can go as big as 8 terabytes, i've also heard 2000 gigs, i'm not sure which is right. apparently microsoft just promotes(to the point of not giving any other options) using NTFS on large drives because it is said to waste less space: when a drive is over 32 gigs the cluster sizes go from being 16K to 32K and this is less efficient than NTFS somehow, but how much space could i really be loosing vs NTFS? also, how can i format my drive with FAT32 anyway? dosfstools wouldnt do it. any ideas?
