      Hi,
      I'm going to buy a new 4TB HDD as a storage for movies.
      Moreover, I want to have a folder for my Roms on that HDD.
      Is that possible, or will i have to strugle with complications?

      I've read that a retropie mount is only possible at FAT32? Unfortunately, i can't save movies to FAT32 due to the size.
      Do I have to use two different partitions or are there easier solutions?

      thx for every response.

        @Muffy it should work with any native linux filesystem (ext4), as well as ntfs and exfat.
