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?

Nah, it’s just SDUC cards are a different hardware design.

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.

The I/O commands are different as well, the hardware has to support SDUC.

Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts
