Hello, I am wondering what filesystem is best for a USB memory stick. The problem is that fat/fat32 is very poor on the permissions, but most systems can read/write it, whereas ntfs is poorly supported under Linux (and I am not certain about how good the permission support is) and things like ext3, reiserfs and other unix FSs aren't supported on windows. So is there mount options for fat/fat32 which improves the case somewhat under Linux, or might ntfs be a good compromise as most of the Linux systems I will be using it on will be mine so I can install ntfs-3g or other drivers (and windows 9x seems to have disappeared sufficiently that I won't have too many of those), or is there a windows driver for one of the unix filesystems (and if I want to be able to use it on more than just my machine I suppose I could make a small fat32 partition where I could have the driver available should a windows machine not have it). Thanks for any pointers to information or advice people can give. From Michael Whapples
