I think yes, it matters. Historicly fat needs to end not later that about
4Gb from the beginning of the disk. There is now an exfat, but I think
M$ patents are holding up its linux acceptance. Generally its moot as
most images to install linux, overwrite the disks file systems with an
ext4 that just works. So it basicly is not an argument when the u-sd
says its exfat, and trace of it is gone by the dd-ing of a linux install
image to that 64GB u-sd tpo it.
