...With portable drives it will be hard to
both maintain all attributes and be able to read it on anything.
FAT-formatted USB drives are the only thing that will work across
linux/windows/mac

Yes, I had this impression, thanks for confirming it.

FWIW, You can use ext(2/3) on windows using

http://www.fs-driver.org/

Myself, I needed an external disk which was 99.9% of the time accessed via linux, and only very occasional accessed from windows. I plumped for ext3 and this, since I wanted a 'proper' linux filesystem under linux. Worked OK in that regard..

Also, linux ntfs support is getting better, with ntfs-3g, so ntfs might become an option soon, although I wouldn't trust it quite yet myself.

no idea about macs though I'm afraid, although I would be surprised if support for ntfs and even ext3 couldn't be found somewhere ?
