What Filesystem should I use for an external USB harddrive (500GB), with possibility to share with a Mac and Windows systems, for example at the office. Now it is NTFS but back in the day the NTFS support was not stable under Linux and I think it is not supported on a Mac.
I would just use FAT32, but it has 4GB file size limitation, do I overlooked any other option?
I looked here: filesystem types for partitions but a Mac is not mentioned.
edit Windows is the least important, I am not sure if I need Windows support at all. So what would I use just for Linux and Mac?
