-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 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.
