By the way, NTFS is no option, SuSE 11.0 will not format with that one.
Are you sure? I think we've been formatting ntfs drives via 10.3 and 11.0, but I could be wrong. And we are up to 11.1 on most of our machines now so I can't easily test. Formating via linux also gives you better access to control some of the ntfs features. One in particular is that ntfs under windows defaults to maintaining an index of all the data on the drive. We dislike that and disable it during the formating step. Under Windows you have to format first, then remember to back into the filesystem properties and disable the indexing.
