Hi!
I have a large USB external HDD. I want to use it with my MacBook, my old windows box (XP), several other computers at work (can't install software on them) and at my friend's, who is a Linux fanatic.
What's the best filesystem to use?
With HFS+ I could use it with my mac, my friend's Linux box (with hfsutils) and my own windows pc, if I install some software (like hfvexplorer).
With NTFS it would be usable with all target systems, but I would have to use macFUSE on my mac and captive on the linux box.
FAT32 is out of question because of the 2GB file size limit.
Any pros/cons I did not see?
What would you do/what do you do? Whats the easiest way?
Greetings,
Fred
