Which File System should I use?

Which is the best file system to use on a drive, baring in mind the following requirements:
* Read AND write compatibility on both Mac & Windows systems.
* Individual file sizes will often exceed 4GB (ruling out the FAT file systems).
* The drive is connected via USB (160GB).
Any help appreciated

Read and write compatibility out of the box is only possible with FAT32.
But your second request rules that one out.
What I would do in this case is to use NTFS as file system (read+write in Windows) and use/buy Paragons NTFS for OSX http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ for full access to NTFS from OSX.
In my opinion it is a far more stable solution than using MacDrive in Windows for full access to OSX (HFS+) partitions.
Hope it helps

  • Which file type should I use and how I use it?

    Hello!
    I need to create a file with some data that has been inserted manually.
    In this file, for example, there are:
    ProjectName1: string1, string7… string10, date1
    ProjectName2: string11, string15… string20, date2
    ProjectNamek: string 100, string 116 … string 140, date1
    I know only one thing: one of the strings.
    What I need to find in the file:
    I need to find the string at one of these rows and get its ProjectName and date.
    For example: if I have string15,
    I should find string15 in the file, and get its ProjectName and date:
    ProjectName2, date2
    Which file type should I use and how I use it? What is the best solution?
    Thanks!

    (ie:
    1. ProjectName always starts the line and ends with a ':'.
    2. The rest of the strings on the line are separated by ", " and will never contain ", "
    you might also want to have a look at String.split().

  • Which file type should I use?

    Hi all,
    I am finally building my book. Using Elements 10 as my primary. My workflow starts with creating a new file (file/new/blank)
    I just finished the first page and to be safe I saved it as a PDF, PNG and JPEG. When all the pages are done I am going to print it locally. I think JPEG will be useful and this first page is only 8MB. I just have to decide what my other file type should be, which will the file I print. Both the PNG and PDF files were 60MB each. Should I contine to save as both? I will most likely come back and re-edit as well. Thanks.

    You actually have two questions:
    In order to re-edit at a later date, save it as either a PSD (Elements native file format) or TIFF.  These file formats preserve your layers and masks, so re-editing is a snap.
    When it's time to print, talk to the printshop you're going to use and ask them what file format they prefer.  Most places can handle PDFs.

  • Which file format should i use?

    I'm trying to decide on a file format that is high quality, but takes up less space than a 256 kbps AAC file. I'm currently considering going with a 224 kbps mp3 file format, but I'm not sure if this would cause a noticeable sound quality difference with the Apple earbuds or my computer speakers. Any reccomendations would be great.

    Right, gonna have to stick my two pennies worth in here.
    Considering HDD's are getting so big nowadays, encoding audio at a lower bit rate than max is a bit pointless. If you're going to encode, do it at the best possible quality. I've just done about 600 CD's and that's only about 43GB and that was encoded at 320kbps vbr joint stereo in mp3. Some people may scoff and say that vbr isn't very good, but I have to disagree. At those settings, the audio is as good as the original CD and I have a very good ear. Vbr will actually encode the optimum bitrate for the part of the track it is encoding, if there is a quiet part, it will be encoded at low bitrate to save space, but to your ears, you will not notice a thing. In general, vbr will bring the size of an encoded mp3 down, but still keep very good quality.

  • Which audio format should I use on my memory stick?

    Hi. My car has a Clarion HDD Navigation System MAX575 which is compatible with audio CDs and has a memory stick slot. I can't play MP3 CDs. Which file format should i use if I want to load music onto the HDD using a memory stick? I don't want to remove the unit.

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not yet fully developed for the Mac - some features are not yet implemented - but it does work otherwise.
    6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
    See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
    Boot Camp is only available with Leopard. The Boot Camp Beta that was used with Tiger has expired and is no longer available for use. So contrary to the other poster's comment, Boot Camp isn't truly "free." You must purchase Leopard to get it.

  • Which HttpClient class should I use for Universal apps?

    Hi,
    I am developing a Windows Universal app for Windows phone and WinRT in C# and I would like to know which HttpClient class should i use? Should I use the System.Net.HttpClient or Windows.Web.HttpClient?

    Because the System.Net.Http and System.Net.Http.Headers namespaces might not be available in future versions of Windows for use by Windows Store apps. It is stated in the official documentation on MSDN here:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/dn469431.aspx
    "Starting with Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2, use Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient in the Windows.Web.Http namespace and the related Windows.Web.Http.Headers and Windows.Web.Http.Filters namespaces instead for Windows Store apps."
    And the Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient class is supported from Windows Phone 8.1, Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/windows.web.http.httpclient.aspx
    Hope that helps.

  • Which jdbc driver should be used for sqlserver 2000 and where to put it.

    hi all,
    My odi is 11g. I met the error infor "Could not load JDBC driver class [com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver]" when i tried to connect to a sqlserver2000 database.
    The questions are:
    1. which jdbc driver should be used for sqlserver 2000?
    2. which folder to put it in?
    3. how to set the physical topological "Microsoft Sql Server" to use this jdbc driver?
    failed tries:
    i downloaded the driver "SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC Service Pack 2" and put it in the following folders:
    1. .../oracledi/drivers, and set this path to CLASSPATH.
    2. .../oracledi/userlib didn't exist, i created it and put the driver in.
    3. .../oracledi/agent/dirvers, in which a readme file exists and told me to put drivers in this folder.
    All these works were not useful. when I start odi.sh and try to connect to sqlserver2000 database, the same error infor came up.
    my environment is:
    os: Linux 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 15:51:48 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    Hi,
    You should check which JVM version is required by that version of the driver, I think the 2.x versions require a 1.6 JVM
    What error are you getting? If it is the "com.sunopsis.sql.c: No suitable driver", it indicates it can't find the jar file (sqljdbc.jar) for the driver you specify.
    Drivers folder in ODI 11g is under
    C:\oracle\product\11.1.1\Oracle_ODI_1\oracledi\agent\drivers.
    if you are using the standolone version
    On windwos :
    C:\Documents and Settings\<userName>\Application Data\odi\oracledi\userlib
    on linux
    $HOME/.odi/oracledi/userlib
    Have a read of :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/core.1111/e16453/install.htm#CHDBIFAJ

  • HT4839 Which apn setting should I use for my iphone 4 on net10

    Which apn setting should I use for iphone 4 on net10

    APN Settings for Net 10
    Cellular Data
    APN: att.mvno
    Username: (Blank)
    Password:(Blank)
    MMS (Blank)
    APN: att.mvno
    Username: (Blank)

    MMS Max Size: 1048576
    MMS UA Prof URL: www.apple.com/mms/uaprof.rdf
    Type exactly whats on here on your settings.
    Procedure:
    1- Turn on your phone
    2- Get paperclip take out tray and put your non working sim card in- T-moble and simple mobile sim cards work great for me on this venture.
    3. Goto Settings>General>Cellular>Cellular Network
    At this point its very critical that you do this fast, Once you change the sim card to your net 10 the option Cellular Network will only stay on for a few seconds while it's searching for service. You will need to click on cellular once the Net10 sim card is in and click on Cellular network again.
    4. Get your paperclip take out the tray put in the Net 10 sim card
    5. Goto Cellular>Cellular Network while it's searching for service
    6. Type in your settings that I list above
    7. Scroll back to your main setting (Do not press your Home Button)
    8. Once you see your service up and running try out your web and send a picture message it should work.
    9. If it does'nt work you mistype one of the settings, it has to be exact or it wont work.
    10. Do the process all over again
    Keep this information and the sim card away for a later date in case you lose your setting I have'nt turned off my phone or let my battery die to find out if I lose my settings. One thing for sure I lost it when I update to the IOS 6.0.1.

  • HT1206 I buy apps in my iPhone using different Apple IDs. Which Apple ID should I use to authorize the computer when synchronizing iPhone with iTunes?

    I buy apps in my iPhone using different Apple ID. Which Apple ID should I use to authorize the computer when sync iPhone with iTunes?

    Hi again,
    After a little further research, it appears that you would need to create separate iTunes libraries in order to be able to continue to purchase and download previously purchased items on the same computer, for two different Apple IDs. Sorry - but my husband and I have had the library we sync with authorized for so long, that we have not run into this issue, but it appears that you will get an warning when you try to authorize the second ID on the same computer, indicating that another ID is already associated with it.
    So, you will probably have to set up separate iTunes libraries for each ID:

    Sorry for any confusion - hope this helps!

  • Which uesr exit should I use by such a case

    The requirement is to send the email to manager when anyone create or change the Material data by using MM01/MM02.
    The function of sending email I have done but I don't know which user exit should be used to call the function.
    I have tried  MGA00001 >EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001>INCLUDE ZXMG0U02 and writed some code in the ZXMG0U02. (ex: break point) .but when I modified the Material and saved,the stop does not appear. whether I used a wrong user exit?

    You can use enhancement MGA00001 (industry only) for this.
    For more information, see the documentation for the following components assigned to this enhancement:
    Function Calls :
    EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001
    Enhancement Number : MGA00001
    If you want to send a mail for only material creation/ extend then you can you the badi BADI_MATERIAL_REF.
    we don't have BADI 's for Change the Material master records.
    If you want to send a mail for MM02 also then you can go for the Enhancement ' MGA00001' under the function module 'EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001'.
    Thanks

  • Which Operating system most company use to run oracle?

    Which Operating system most company use to run oracle?
    thanks

    If you are trying to decide on a platform, I would recommend that you look at Swingbench and run your own benchmarks on various platforms using vendor "try and buy" options. Sun is great for allowing a 90 day "try and buy" where you could try a wide range of platforms and I am guessing other vendors would do the same. Using Swingbench I recently found that an older Sun X6220 (blade server) was for 50 Swingbench users faster than a T6340, T2000, M5000 and older V890. Single threaded SQL was especially slow on the SPARC/T while the M5000 was comparable to the X6220 (again for 50 users). This is significant because the M5000 is much more expensive than the X6220 (a blade server).
    For a small number of users, say 50 users and under, I like Solaris/x86 unless there will be lots of IO which is where SPARC and the M series scales up very well. 50+ users hammering on a DB, Solaris/SPARC is my first choice. If you are just getting started and are not in love with any platform, check out Oracle Unbreakable Linux.

  • Which color profile should I use?

    I'm getting into doing some freelance graphic design, and I've been playing around with my awesome new C2D Macbook Pro. I am wondering, which color profile should I use? It's set on Color LCD, but I'm wondering about Adobe RGB or Apple RGB would those be better?
    Thanks!

    I personally am a fan of the sRGB on the Mac. I think the blue comes out very nice when comparing it to the others.

  • Which kernel module should I use for Marvell Yukon 88E8001?

    Which kernel module should I use for Marvell Yukon 88E8001?
    a. sky2
    b. skge
    c. sk98lin

    I found this in the kernel''s /driver/net/Kconfig:
    config SKGE
    tristate "New SysKonnect GigaEthernet support"
    depends on PCI
    select CRC32
    ---help---
    This driver support the Marvell Yukon or SysKonnect SK-98xx/SK-95xx
    and related Gigabit Ethernet adapters. It is a new smaller driver
    with better performance and more complete ethtool support.
    It does not support the link failover and network management
    features that "portable" vendor supplied sk98lin driver does.
    This driver supports adapters based on the original Yukon chipset:
    Marvell 88E8001, Belkin F5D5005, CNet GigaCard, DLink DGE-530T,
    Linksys EG1032/EG1064, 3Com 3C940/3C940B, SysKonnect SK-9871/9872.
    It does not support the newer Yukon2 chipset: a separate driver,
    sky2, is provided for Yukon2-based adapters.
    To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
    will be called skge. This is recommended.
    Looks like your module is "skge"

  • Which wattage adapter should I use with the composite cable with my iPad?

    Which wattage adapter should I use with the composite cable when connected to my iPad while watching T. V. .

    Ultimately, use the power adapter that came with the iPad. But you should use any USB based power adapter that has a 10 watt/ 2 amp or higher power rating. Look close when buying a thrid party adapter, if it does not specify 10 watts/2 amps it is a lower 5 watt/1 amp charger that will not work.
