Kitkat SD card problems

If you haven't seen this, you need to. Know what's coming:

I, for one, am expecting problems with multimedia downloads from my home theater PC, and related issues with my chosen file manager (Root Explorer) and SMB transfer (AndSMB) apps. That's not based on any faults that I've read about with those apps, just pessimistic expectations.

The apps can still write to the SD card. And you can still plug the phone into a computer and move the data to wherever on the card you want.

I'd still prefer using ext3 for the cards. It's been possible to read that fs on Windows for years.
