Got a zip drive recently. Using it to do small code backups. I was
wondering... In order to maintain the integrity of the file
permissions/dates, etc. (not sure if this is even necessary) can I
format a zip disk as something other than vfat? Like ext2? Is this
possible or even recommended? New area for me.
