2also, I've never heard of a GNU/Linux filesystem that doesn't do symlinks. if you're using FAT my advice would be to get a better filesystem (I realize this is cheeky and useless, but it's true).strugee– strugee2013-09-17 03:58:19 +00:00Commented Sep 17, 2013 at 3:58

Most flash drives and sd cards are formatted with fat32 or vfat/fat64. Also, that was just an example. Also, a common filesystem is useful for transferring files between operating systems.Mikemk– Mikemk2013-09-17 06:15:28 +00:00Commented Sep 17, 2013 at 6:15

I know. FAT is a pretty terrible filesystem, but I realize it's useful - it was a joke.strugee– strugee2013-09-17 07:01:56 +00:00Commented Sep 17, 2013 at 7:01

1Just to get your facts straight: Windows does support symlinks, NTFS supports symlinks and windows even ships with commands to create symlinks by default.Marco– Marco2013-09-17 07:59:52 +00:00Commented Sep 17, 2013 at 7:59

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
