Can you run rockbox if you format the iPod?

Hi. I was wondering if you could run rockbox on the iPod if you format the iPod to the Third Extended File System (ext3).

I am so tired of having to rename the .ogg files every time I must move them to the iPod since the stupid FAT file system can't handle "?" in the file names.

I use Ex Falso to rename the files which has led to the fact that every song that is a question now can't be moved to the iPod (yes I know about the "strip windows incompatible characters", but the entire collection is already named).

I don't need the original OS to work, I just need rockbox to run properly and play my ogg vorbis music.

Thanx.

No.  Rockbox requires FAT.

itix:
Oh...

Damn. The shitty FAT-system just got corrupted for the third time in two weeks. It sure isn't rockbox fault either because it was the same story when I just had the original operating system.

I HATE the FAT file system.

Oh well... I'll just reformat the shit again then.

Thanx anyway

If you manage to corrupt your file system, its probably something wrong with your PC.

I have two PC's, both of which run Ubuntu. I am pretty sure that Ubuntu has NOT corrupted the file system since I had the problem before I had Ubuntu.
