Best filesystem for portable drive
I need to share files between Mac, Windows XP and Linux. I have a spare 120Gb SATA 2.5 drive in a caddy that I'm hoping I can reformat (it was damaged when I dropped my Macbook but I can read files from it OK)
FAT32 seems like the obvious candidate, although there is the 4Gb file size restriction which would be a problem as I'd like to store movies on it
NTFS is readable and writeable by Windows and Linux, but not sure if OSX will write to it.
HFS+ isn't supported by Windows, nor is EXT3 or ReiserFS
Why isn't there a suitable filesystem that one can use across all types? Seems crazy to me...
