Boot partition format - geole - 06-16-2020
note for developers
Hello
You have decided to choose the fat16 format instead of the FAT32 format. I don't know why. I see that:
This allows a gain of 4MB. So not important!
This does not allow windows to read the content. If that was the goal, it is discussed. Personally I think it's a shame. See my screenshot.
Some EFI computers don't know how to boot with a FAT16 partition ((Dell Latitude E4310) . It is necessary to destroy everything and to refabricate by duplication. This is not at all fun!
So I ask you to suggest the FAT32 format to store the software as the way that suits you.[attachment=58]

It doesn't matter fat12/16/32 for ventoy.
So I will force it to FAT32 in the next release.
