Hello,

Is there a file system that works on Windows, Linux and Mac, and supports files larger than 4GB?

FAT32 works on all but is a bit dated and does not support >4GB files.

NTFS works on Windows and Linux, but apparently doesn't work on Mac for writing to.

Do you know one that is supported by all of these OSes?

Reason: I want many people to be able to use my USB harddrive, and I thought by making it NTFS everyone (me with Linux, and several people with Windows) would be able to write to it, until someone with their Mac laptop came and wasn't able to write to it.

Thanks!

Apparently you can format flash drives using UDF, you might want to give it a shot.

Ext3 Journaling System is my personal favorite. I guess I am biased, as I helped write it. write about it.

At least two years ago, the Windows Ext3-driver wasn't really stable enough for critical data storage.

What is wrong with exFAT? It supports files over 4GB, Mac and Windows both support it natively, and linux can use it via fuse.

Sure, it isn't journaled, and up-front block allocation is required, but it still gets the job done.
