It is generally a bad idea to change the file system on an existing disk. Decide on the file system when using a new disk. Consider using ext4 rather than ntfs. Even Microsoft considers ntfs outdated, but does not offer an alternative itself at the moment.

Ubuntu supports a large number of file systems, including ext2 (read/write), ext3 (read/write), ext4 (read/write), ReiserFS (read/write), JFS (read/write), XFS (read/write), FAT (read/write), and NTFS (read, additional software available for writing).

How can i copy a video file 11.5gb to your brand new 16gb USB flash drive?
I'm assuming you've tried copy and paste and weren't able to copy the file. If you haven't, please do xD. Now... if you have, I'm gonna tell you why this happened (if you want to just skip it) and how it can be solved.Why this happened: This error you've run into has to do with the fact that flash drives are formatted to FAT (FAT and NTFS are file systems. A file system can be defined as the way data is organized in a partition, which is a logical disk) by default. That's because many people use different operative systems, and NTFS is only compatible with Windows and some Linux distributions. You probably won't even notice there's a difference... until you want to write a file larger than 4 gb. FAT is unable to do that.You need to format your flash drive to NTFS instead of FAT. Formatting means, among other stuff, erasing of data (actually, only the records of files are wiped, the data remains written in the surface of the disk.If you wanna skip the lesson xD, start reading from here.How it can be solved:If you're using Windows backup your stuff (if the drive's brand new I don't think you have any) It works, but now your drive isn't gonna be compatible with better other operative systems (like Linux or Mac OS)Once your flash drive (actually, a drive-filling partition) is formatted to NTFS, you can start copying files larger than 4 gb right away. :DNow, if by any chance, you're using a different OS, your flash drive's filesystem is gonna have to be FAT so that it's compatible with that OS. So use WinRAR or similar software to split the files (for instance 11.5 / 4 = 2,875). Even though it works, it's gonna be a pain in the ass having to split every file that's larger than 4 gb.
What is the meaning of FAT in computer science?

Should you change a fat32 partition to ntfs?
Probably not. There is a decent chance of corruption / data loss. it is better to back up your files, delete the partition, and create a new NTFS partition instead. ---------- Depends. It's recommended that you back up any important data on the disk. The down fall with FAT32 and NTFS is that FAT32 cannot interpret anything larger than 32GiB Volumes on the Hard Disk. FAT32 Volumes are becoming the primitive Format. However, older machines which use obsolete hardware won't be able to understand the NTFS Structured Volumes. xyr0x
