Do you need something larger than a 4GB file? The volume limit is 8TB. NTFS on Linux is in some kernels but not all. I'm not sure how MacOS X would do with a NTFS volume. FAT32 is safer unless you needs permissions or files larger than 4GB. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
