Most of the larger (32/64GB+) SD cards are preformated with exfat, not<br>
vfat, but you have to use the FUSE exfat file system and utilities on<br>
Linux. If you reformat the card on Linux using mkfs.vfat, you lose<br>
that. It's the format my Canon camera uses with 64GB cards, so I've<br>
gotten use to it even though the file size limit isn't important to me.<br>
