Hello,
Needs to format the USB external harddisk... Go for UFS with newfs or something else?
I am looking for a filesystem that would be highly compatible with both Linux and FreeBSD. It should be widely portable, i.e. available on most installation. So that the external harddisk could read user data files well on both platforms.
Which FS may you recommend?
EXT4: nope, it uses FUSE
EXT3: same as above.
UFS1 and UFS2: Linux can read/write well, but it isnt widely available.
JFS: Good but not always be available without installing it
NTFS: ? (just kidding).
