Select one of the following format types
ƒ
Linux (ext3) - The HP Media Vault comes with a primary hard disk
called SYSTEM. The SYSTEM disk is formatted into a proprietary Linux
file system (ext3). The format of the SYSTEM disk does not change.
Formatting a second internal hard disk into the proprietary Linux file
system gives you the best read/write performance. However, a Linux-
formatted hard disk on the server cannot be disconnected and used in
a different computer. You can only read and write data to the server’s
hard drive when its connected to the server.
ƒ
Windows (FAT32) - The FAT32 file system allows you to read and
write to the hard disk. Microsoft used this file system for Windows
versions 95, 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, and XP. Files on FAT32 disks
cannot be larger than 4 GB. If you format a server hard disk in FAT32,
you can disconnect the disk and use it on Windows, Macintosh and
Linux computers. However, you cannot store files larger than 4GB on
FAT32 file systems.
