   That’s the thing. Windows is full of assumptions as to which kinds of   
   devices are allowed to have which kinds of filesystems installed on them,   
   which kinds are to be hot-pluggable and which are not.   
      
   For example, are you allowed to put NTFS on a hot-pluggable volume?   
   Somehow, I don’t think so.   
      
   Linux doesn’t care, it lets you mix and match however you like.
