The TG582n can use a USB storage device with ~~a single partition~~ formatted as FAT32. ~~(''Your~~ ~~author~~ ~~has~~ ~~not~~ ~~tried~~ ~~anything~~ ~~else~~ ~~yet'')~~

The TG582n can use a USB storage device with partitions formatted as FAT32 or EXT2/3/4. There are some restrictions - with the following disk

Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type

/dev/sdb1 63 65529134 65529072 31.3G c W95 FAT32 (LBA)

/dev/sdb2 65529135 229376069 163846935 78.1G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
