I have put > FAT32 and ufs filesystems on SD cards larger than 32G. Just a question for verification: Do you use such SD cards in a camera, and will the camera accept FAT and UFS? I have never heared of such a camera, but... Of course let's never forget that there are other use cases for SD cards than just putting them into cameras and phones. For example, I use USB sticks with _no_ filesystem on them to transfer data (using tar). I do not know if any non-UNIXy or non-Linuxy system will be able to read or write them, but luckily, I don't have to care about that. :-) > I believe "modern" digital cameras are designed to use PTP, which means > using something along the lines of gphoto.

For example, my (old) camera supports both PTP and mass storage mode (can be selected in the camera's menu), but personally, I found it just easier to remove the SD card, put it into the reader built into the computer, use it from there, and put it back, instead of dealing with the USB mini-B socket and its lousy protection cap, oh, and where did I put the cable... ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
