Most USB sticks seem to be formatted with FAT32, probably because
enough ms windows users have not discovered linux yet.
Q1: can Linux permissions, ownership, group, etc. be stored in FAT32?
Q2: If I backup a linux file (.ods, for example), and later I write it
back to the linux hard drive, have I lost the ownership/permission
attributes?
Q3: I Copied a .ODS file from a USB stick to Ubuntu 16.04, and it had
permissions, ownership, group data! What gives?
I use Lijnux primarily, so I want to format the USB sticks to a Linux
file system. Q4: Is this recommended?
Q5: Which is the best file system for USB sticks?
Q6: what is the command to write the file system?
