I resurrected my LJ just to ask you all...
Hi LJ Linux community, it's been a long time. I was hoping you could provide some advice on filesystems.
So I recently got a nice big external hard drive. I plan to use that as a way to store files accessible to both Linux (me) and Windows (wife) with read/write support. I've always used FAT as my universal filesystem but now that I frequently have files over 4gb FAT doesn't cut it.
Last time I tinkered with the NTFS linux driver was years ago, and it didn't have good write support. Is NTFS on Linux good enough now that I can reliably store data on an NTFS drive?
If not, is there another filesystem any of you can think of that I can count on to have read and write support with any OS I throw at it?
