    What filesystem?

    Hello

    I have one Linux, one Mac OS X and one Win XP computer in my household. What filesystem should I choose for my external laCie hard drive? Of course I want to be able to read/write to it from all the systems =)

    Is FAT32 the only one compatible with all three? Nevermind that the permissions won't follow (that doesn't matter to me as the hdd will only serve as backup space), but I'd really like to be able to save files larger than 4 GB.

    Thanks!

    You can get extfs drivers for XP and I imagine Mac, but I would not recommend it. I think you will find FAT32 the most convenient.
