I often use gparted to format my USBs. Whenever I format a USB as FAT32, it takes just a few seconds to complete. Whenever I format a USB as EXT3, it takes a few minutes to complete. Why is there such a large difference in the speeds of formatting the USB in these different formats?
Why is formatting a USB as FAT32 quicker than formatting as EXT3?
