Yeah, ext2/3/4 have a lot of features that really aren't needed for the Wii. FAT32 has nearly every feature in a FS you'd need for the Wii, short of the 4GB file cap, and that's easily circumvented via WBFS files. Linux users -- unless you pulled it, your OS supports FAT32...as does nearly every other device on the market today (convenience!).
I agree with you, but the limit of 4GB is bad.
QUOTE(thesund0g @ Oct 3 2010, 05:12 AM) If you want a complete, stable implementation of ext*, you'd have a lot of unneeded bloat. I wouldn't trust a partial implementation (hence why I don't use NTFS on the Wii disk), even if it's for read-only.
