I use FAT for everything and UDF when I need > 4GB support. These tools were never developed fully in Linux also Linux can only write to an older version of UDF, not the later versions The only downside is that only windows has the proper tools to repair a UDF filesystem. It solves the file size issue, supports metadata that each OS wants to see (thus file ownership is usable on Linux weras windows will simply ignore that metadata happily). Linux as you would expect takes it in any way, with or without a partition, but windows and Mac have their own "tweaks". Works on windows, Linux, and Mac (not likely on devices however) but only if you use a helper script to format it in a way that each OS likes. UDF (what I use for cross platform where FAT can't be): should have been the solution but because of proprietary interests from Microsoft and apple it was taken round the back of the shed and beaten up. If you removed that requirement you could use anything you liked.įAT: works everywhere on everything but like you say has filesize limits.ĮxFAT: works mostly everywhere, unfortunately it is a proprietary bodge job to update FAT but it works and resolves the file size limits even if it does it in a stupid way (massive sector size when compared to other better filesystems resulting in wasting space with small files). Well your problem is you want it to work with windows 10.
FAT32 is bnot an option since it has limits in speed and size when transfering. Others suggest using something completely alien, like ZFS in which it is not even clear whether it has support on any OS. Some people suggest UDF, but thers say that had a lot of issues with it. Some people suggest exFAT, but say that it is less reliable than NTFS although very fast and simple. Because of that i decided to look for a good filesystem which will suit my needs. To make the drive more reliable i decided to format ti to EXT4, but after that i realized that i has no native support on Windows 10. Sometime before one of my flash drives (16gb) was on NTFS and got corrupted on my Linux laptop somehow, so I needed to repair the drive on windows to get it working back again.
Let's provide some context to make answers more relevant: After digging some internet i know that this may be asking for everything but maybe you guys know the answer. It has to be reliable, fast and working across all systems. I want to have all of my flash drives to be in one filesystem just in case. I have a Windows 10 PC and a laptop running Arch Linux.
