X100S - Switching From exFAT to FAT32 on 64GB Cards

Взято отсюда.
Before receiving my Fujifilm X100S I bought a Sandisk UHS-1 64GB rated for 95MB/s. After unboxing the X100S I immediately formatted the card within the camera, took some shots and removed the card to view the pictures on my PC. I was surprised to see that my ArchLinux machine couldn’t read the card out of the box. I then discovered that the X100S formats the at least the 64GB cards with exFAT filesystem while using the regular FAT32 for smaller cards such as 16GB (haven’t tested 32GB yet). After installing two packages on my Linux machine I was able to read the card but this made me look at this so called exFAT filesystem. After reading about the exFAT limitations I decided to re-format my 64GB SD card with FAT32 for better robustness and interoperability.

Why exFAT?

Some of the advantages of the exFAT can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT.

When applied to the X100S I can only see two advantages:

• Supports files bigger than 4GB. Well, not that critical for the X100S considering that video sequences are limited to 10 minutes.
• Better allocation of free space.

Why you don’t want exFAT?

• Patent bloated. Official specification is not publicly available
• Limited support outside Windows and Mac OS X. Needs additional user space modules on Linux (cannot be part of the kernel).
• Random compatibility with reading devices such as multimedia players, TVs, picture frames, entertainment systems found in planes and many other electronic gadgets capable of reading pictures.
• Less robust because of the single file allocation table where FAT32 stores a backup copy for recovery. IMHO, this is a step backward. Moreover, there are many more (free) recovery tools for FAT32 partitions than for exFAT.

What to do then?

The simplest workaround is to re-format the 64GB card with FAT32 rather than exFAT. The bad news is that you can’t do it within the camera. It has to be done on a PC.

How to format a 64GB card with FAT32?

While Windows can read and write FAT32 formatted devices of pretty much any size, its built-in format tools doesn’t support card larger than 32GB.

I found the following command line to do it manually but it took ages to complete (no quick format) and I couldn’t specify the allocation unit size.

Format /fs:FAT32 driveletter:

There is much faster and simpler way to do it with the following GUI tool: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/guiformat.htm

The GUI is fairly simple and the only thing you need to select is the target drive and allocation unit size. I selected 32768 for the Allocation unit size and thus in order to match what is done on a 16GB card formatted by the X100S it self (FAT32). I also left the volume label blank. Lastly you can safely click on Quick Format as well to speed things up.

I used this tool under a Windows XP virtual machine running on Linux and it worked fine.

For information, there is a simple trick to check the allocation unit size on an already FAT32 formatted card by using the defrag tool found in Windows 2K/XP by right clicking on the drive letter, then click on Properties and select the Tools tab and then click on the Defragment Now button, then Analyze and finally click View Report to check the cluster size.

What’s next?

I have tested this setup on my X100S and didn’t notice any issue nor speed impact. If you want to stick to FAT32 on your 64GB card then you will always have to format the card with a PC rather than a camera but that shouldn’t be a big deal.

Отключение виртуального диска

I don’t know what is wrong with developers today, but it is a growing trend to make things “just work” at the expense of leaving any sort of options for the user to self-configure. Extra or advanced options seem to be a taboo with new applications, which is a real shame.
SugarSync v2 beta is one of these applications. Even the installer asks no questions, not letting me choose an installation folder, or where to put the SugarSync folder to begin with.
Well, one thing it installs is a virtual disk driver that enables a new SugarSync virtual drive, in my case G:. To disable this, open device manager as an administrator and disable the virtual disk driver.

You will need to show hidden devices to see it. Right click the device and disable.

Установка CrashPlan

Процедура отождествления данных

Crashplan has a feature—called "Adopting another computer"—that lets you do just this. Using the external hard drive as ane example, here's how it works:

1. Install CrashPlan on your new computer, then log into your account.
   
2. Once you're logged in, you should see a New Computer message at the top of the CrashPlan window. Click the Adopt link.
   
3. Now choose the computer you want to adopt. This should be the computer your drive and data were previously backed up with.
4. The Files section of the Backup tab will now display the same sources as the computer you adopted, including your storage drive. Make sure everything looks right (e.g., the source exists in the same path on your new computer as it did on your old one) and you're ready to back up, no painful initial upload required.

That's all there is to it. It's relatively simple, and you might want to check out CrashPlan's documentation for more details, but the simple feature saved me a couple weeks of uploading. I do love my CrashPlan.

VirtualBox: Disable time sync between host and client



Virtualbox (or its Guest Additions) have this annoying habit of automatically keeping the clock in sync with the host, regardless of the settings that one tries to implement within the guest itself.  For example, in a Windows 7 guest that I’m trying to use for consistent screenshots I need to set the clock to specific dates.  However, as soon as I set it, Virtualbox changes it back.

Here’s how to change it:

vboxmanage setextradata “” “VBoxInternal/Devices/VMMDev/0/Config/GetHostTimeDisabled” “1

Изменения в конфиг файле
"C:\Documents and Settings\ishutov\VirtualBox VMs\BI Tableau\BI Tableau.vbox":
     



=======================
How To Disable Host Time Synchronization in Virtual Box*
Working on daylight savings time bugs is the perfect opportunity to utilize virtualization. I don't want to inadvertently mess up my laptop by changing the date and time over and over again while I'm debugging, so I setup a new VM that I can fiddle with safely. Unfortunately, I ran into an issue where VirtualBox was automatically synchronizing the VM clock with my host machine's date and time every 10 seconds (as it is configured to by default). Searching online, I found a way to disable this feature while I work on DST issues and I am documenting the trick for posterity:

Disable Time Sync
vboxmanage setextradata [VMName] "VBoxInternal/Devices/VMMDev/0/Config/GetHostTimeDisabled" "1"
Enable Time Sync
vboxmanage setextradata [VMName] "VBoxInternal/Devices/VMMDev/0/Config/GetHostTimeDisabled" "0"
This puts an entry in the XML file for the VM specified (note that it's called "[VM Name].vbox" in the folder where VMs are kept) in the 'ExtraData' node, so one could also just delete this entry to restore the default behavior.

NOTE I was unable to get this to work while the VM was running. I think it's required that the VM is off when changing this setting, even though the command didn't return failure.

Can someone tell me how to turn on the time sync feature… I turned it off successfully with this command

vboxmanage setextradata “VBoxInternal/Devices/VMMDev/0/Config/GetHostTimeDisabled” “1

… now I’d like to turn it back on.

Thanks

Wayne, I haven’t confirmed, but I think if you set the 1 to a 0 (zero) on that command it will disable it.

Well I found one solution to do this.
Go to
C:\Documents and Settings\\.VirtualBox\Machines\
and edit the xml file.
–>Create a backup of this file<–
Delete this line:

Note: the script vboxmanage setextradata “VBoxInternal/Devices/VMMDev/0/Config/GetHostTimeDisabled” “1 will create one line in this xml, so if you run more then once time you’ll see more lines. Delete these also.
