Hi list |

By chance I found an external 3 TB disk for a bargain and now I’m planning its |
| 4 |
partitioning. I am thus looking for a filesystem that doesn’t necessarily |
| 5 |
need file permissions to function, the reason being that I might want to take |
| 6 |
the disk to other people in order to copy files around. That’s why I don’t |
| 7 |
really want to use ext4 (my FS of choice for everything else). |

My current media HDD (1 TB) runs on FAT32. But this is not up-to-date anymore |
| 10 |
due to the 4 GiB filesize limitation. NTFS is also not a good option (for me |
| 11 |
anyway), because whenever I copy a file to it, ntfs-3g sets its mtime to |
| 12 |
now(). This makes it impossible to do automated syncing. Also, it loads the |
| 13 |
CPU pretty heavily when being written to. |

Windows compatibility is not a must, but a nice-to-have. That would reduce my |
| 16 |
remaining choices to ExFAT, I presume. |

What’s your advice? Thanks a latte. |

Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers |

believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet. |
