Choosing a file system for an external HDD (Linux + Windows)?

Question

Hard disks

Good afternoon dear community!
I often have this problem: I need to choose a file system for an external drive, which then will need to be connected for reading and writing on several machines with different OS: Linux (mainly Ubuntu) and Windows (7, possibly XP).
This issue is caused by repeated data loss when writing to non-native FS ... FS
requirements:
* reliability;
* support for exotic (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.) filenames;
* 500 GB disk support.
I think the answer to this question will be useful not only to me.
Thank you!

Answer 1

So after all, the NTFS-3G driver is included in Linux distributions by default, so NTFS.

Answer 2

And again I remind you about UFS ...

Answer 3

I carry a 320 GB puller with me, the NTFS system, it works everywhere, both in Ubuntu and on Windows

Answer 4

As a linux user, I chose the following option for myself: I
split the disk into two parts, 100 MB under fat32 on which there are ext drivers for Windows, everything else is ext3

Answer 5

NTFS or ext3/ext2 + small fat partition with driver for wine

Unfortunately, there are no options yet - NTFS. The reason for this is naturally Windows, for which, although there are plug-ins for working with ext *, they are either paid or work out of the ordinary badly. At the same time, Linux has been working pretty well with NTFS for a long time. Although I don’t argue, there is a bug - every time the same torrent is rehashed for vin and lin - 100% on Windows, 99.8% on Linux (tested on several dozen torrents from 1 to 15gb), I used to sin on the alpha utorrent for linux, but now I'm thinking that it could be NTFS problems. Interestingly, even at 99.8%, the files are still completely readable - videos are played, archives are unpacked (without information for recovery), toys / software are installed ...
Well, if you don’t transfer files larger than 4GB on a screw, then the old FAT32 can serve you :)

Answer 8

I have a flash drive in FAT32, due to the fact that a friend's home theater and a radio tape recorder in a car do not know other file systems ... Although for a radio tape recorder you would need to buy a separate flash drive :-)
And yes, in FAT, only the maximum file size limit worries me (images You can't drag DVD :-))

Answer 9

fat does not roll in terms of limiting the maximum file size.
*niks FS do not roll, because Without additional hemorrhoids, Windows will not see them.
And Windows knows nothing more. So NTFS.
