I had all my documents on FAT32 partitions for a long time until I
realized I was never using Windows anymore. I also wanted larger files
than FAT32 allow, and the ability to set file permissions that Linux can
read.
I am not sure about write-enabled ntfs partitions under Linux. Most people
say it is unreliable and that it will never be reliable, but I'm not sure
if people base that on real experience or just hearing other people say
so.
