Avoiding NTFS and FAT

NTFSD
1

I’m looking for a filesystem I can use with both Windows and linux.

I’m not happy with FAT or NTFS.

What other options are available? There’s OpenAFS and CODA but these are
built on top of a Windows filesystem so I see that as not removing the
problem.

Are there any options? Surely something like XFS is available for Windows? I
have ext2anywhere but stability is poor, as is support for unusual
filestypes.

So, have any of you developers developed anything such as this for people
such as myself?

Thank you for your time. (Please Type “REPLY:” in subject field if you wish

I’m just a single end user.

I decided to use coLinux running samba:

This provides access to all the filesystems linux supports.
