  1. 1:43 You’ve introduced the term “clusters” without explaining what they are.

  2. 0:50 Whatever happened to Microsoft’s ReFS, which was supposed to be the next-generation successor to NTFS? Seems like it is missing in action ...

  3. 4:34 Face it, the main reason ExFAT exists is as a licensing revenue stream for Microsoft.

  4. 1:03 I have more options than that on my Linux system. Also, unlike Microsoft, Linux doesn’t restrict your options based on whether the device might be removable or not: all filesystem options are available on all devices.

  5. 8:03 I’m actually currently using an ext3 volume for my boot drive. See, Linux is flexible, it gives you choices.

  6. 10:22 That’s assuming you can actually mount the drive in Windows. Otherwise you’re out of luck. On Linux, you can check the filesystem type without mounting the volume: use “file -s” on the block device for the drive or partition.

  7. 5:04 What was “extended” about it? The fact that it was an improvement on what Linux had been using before—the Minix filesystem.

  8. 1:51 Shouldn’t those units be “MiB”, “GiB”, “TiB” rather than “MB”, “GB”, “TB”?
