Hello again,
I forgot to mention something I meant to write about before. You can use
fat32 and get a small amount of control over who can access files in
linux by using mount options. You can set the access mask, as well as
the owner and group for all files. These aren't stored in the
filesystem, so it's on a per-mount bases. But if it's just you accessing
it, you can probably use fat32 and /etc/fstab to do what you need. This
provides the best compatability if you need to use multiple operating
systems with the drive. I don't recommend doing this on actual hard
drives for a variety of reasons, but for something like a flash drive it
works just fine. It's the solution I use myself.
Joe
