    Post Why does Lineage 14.1 replace TWRP with native recovery?

    I found the recovery unusable - I could never get it to load anything from the sdcard and when I managed to get gapps nano loaded from the internal storage the install failed with "not enough space on system' (Lineage 14.1, Xperia Tablet Z).

    If, as Entropy512 says, this is a timing issue - i.e. the FUSE logic has a hole in it that faster or slower execution avoids - changing the filesystem could well be expected to change the behaviour because the timings involved in card access are different for each type of file system.
