img file creating small FAT16 SD card
Posted: Sat Feb 15, 2020 8:57 am
Hi all
I'm using the mintyPiv3_20190721.img file, which I think is the latest, and Etcher to create my SD card. I'm using 64GB and larger cards because I wanted plenty of room for games and movies (KODI). But I still run out of space. I see the img file creates FAT16 formatted SD cards which doesn't allow large disks.
Does the format come from the img and Etcher? I tried to reformat the card but it seems to return to FAT16 after loading the img.
I am transferring the games using sftp. (running sftp on the minty using ssh to connect to my Mac).
How do I get a larger disk (SD) format that will use the whole card? Thanks
