Hi list,
I am now completely onto the Linux OS (openSUSE 10.3). I removed Windows XP from system except that I have it installed on VMware and VirtualBox for some apps that WINE can't run and for college projects purpose.
Now I have all the partitions in the EXT3 format. I want my external devices to be in ext3 format. However I want to access them in the R/W mode under other Windows OS. Is there any app so that I can do that?
works also with ext3
use fat32 only if you want the device to be read by standard usb readers (not youe linux computer)

fat 32 is really bad, as soon as you handle a large collection of files and/or large and it is slow. I use a ntfs partition on my otherwise ext3 formatted usb disk instead. This is because I do not have friends that still are on win 9x. Apart from one that I'll visit today and try to convert her to Linux. ;-)). I once tried to transfer 120 GB of music from win XP to a fat32 formatted external disk and it took days and nights. With ntfs it worked within one evening.
