Does anyone know if you can format the storage partition on the sdcard as ntfs or ext4.

Reason for this is if you want to put hd movies on your sd card and they are over 4GB you can't do this with FAT32.

So you would need to format it in a different partition. Anyone know if it works ?

You format it to ExFat. That is the new sdcard format to get it to store more than 4gb. How you are going to do it I don't know. If it were stock, formatting that is easy, but CM10, I don't know. NTSF won't work but ext4 should. You can use partitioning software to do that.
