I need to use an USB Hard Disk as repository; that is a "subversion repository" that is used in a local network.

This means (for me) that the data wrote inside the HD can be used, in case of emergency, bot on OS Linux both on OS Windows ....

Actually in this Hard Disk (that have ntfs file system) are stored data 

writed from OS Windows XP; and I am not able to read (easily) this data in OS Fedora.

Actually I can read only some directories there... :

- $RECYCLED BIN

- RECYCLER

- System Volume Information

As well it is not the best..., it is not very important for me to lose the data actually wrote in this Hard Disk, 

But  I would be sure that IN THE FUTURE SHALL BE COMPOTIBILITY of usage between Fedora and Windows..

i.e. I could indifferently use the Hard Disk with Fedora and with Windos..

I think this if possible, using some File System that allow this possibility, by the creation of a special partition on the HD.

What I think is rigth ?

In case the answer is yes.. with wich File System I have to format this partition ??

I apologize for not answer the question you're asking.

However, a friend of my had a similar request not too long ago.  I told him not to bother with his idea and to simply go out and get a NAS.  He was a bit tight on money but he still went out and got a low end Synology NAS with 2x3TB drives.  Final cost was less than US$400.

The data is available to all of his devices.  Including his mobile devices.  And, of course, he has RAID to minimize loss of data.
