High-capacity and high-speed SD and microSD cards will receive improved Linux support on the latest 6.11 kernel update.
Looking at the actual commit notes, it is SDUC support, which starts at 2TB and goes up to 128TB
I find it hard to believe they only recently added GPT partitioning support , or was there some other issue happening with the removable storage mediums above a certain amount?
I’m not sure I’m following, what was the technological leap here? I know that the SD, SDHC, SDXC, etc. are marketing terms and their limitations are based on other factors, much of the previous ones are file system related.
- SD - FAT16 Volume size limit, Practical limit 2GB, Max limit 4GB
- SDHC - FAT32 limit Set at 32GB by Microsoft (fake limit)
- SDXC - 2TB limit, Maximum partition size for MBR partition Scheme.
I assume that it’s a similar story here but it might not be, if so I’m curious as to what changed.
