[VU+ Duo2] Reboot in new openvix 6.0

[abu baniaz]

If you have a fat32 device, it used to tell you you cannot use it for timeshift. IMO, there is no need or benefit to disable configuring those devices for recording.

As you say, these are the options in ViX now. People who need/want to use fat32/ex fat devices will need to use another image because we, the Vix team have disabled configuring those for recording because of timeshift incompatibility. Not everybody needs or uses a timeshift.

As an example, somebody's HDD fails and they want to use an external HDD while they await replacement. And people use their storage devices on multiple devices.

If you see this as a problem why don't you enable it?

And by the way the reason it is like this is so users don't start to file the drive and only later find they need to format from scratch to be able to timeshift to the same device.

You know that I am not a coder.

And if I did, it would be reverted because of all the reasons that do not apply to the situation.

Presumably, most people who use timeshift use the automatic option or do so regularly. So they would be aware of issue straight away and your concern would have minimal impact. In any case, you can actually record to fat32 device without configuring. You start getting the issues when you go into the menu.

You wouldn't need to be.

But anyway, IMO, if somebody is not prepared to format a drive then they shouldn‘t be using a linux box
