[clug-talk] File Systems

[Simon Wood]

From a windows point of view you can use EXT2, but you have to install
a driver on the machine first, see:

I think that EXT2 is a little more robust than you suggest, you could use 
EXT3 on the drive and mount as such on the Linux (and MAC?) machines. 
EXT3 can be mounted temporarily as EXT2.

As far as other filesystems, take you pick:
