Just a quick question for folks out there. I have a couple portable drives (200 & 250 GB) that are likely to be accessed from Linux, Windows & Mac computers. I am not worried about security on them as they are to be used for storing unimportant stuff & backups on the go, but I want to be able to read & write to them.
Additionally, if they can be made generically bootable as I am contemplating putting a couple rescue OS's on them as well. I believe they are both NTFS right now which is fine in Linux & Windows, but I do have issues writing to it with Mac. I was thinking FAT 32, but I can't recall the size limitations on it...do those still exist? If there are still size limitations I likely could use two partitions...one for rescue OS's & the rest for the generic data storage. And just to make things more interesting, I think I might actually have sometime to get my NAS completed. 2 x 2TB drives in a mirror raid & likely to be accessed from the three platforms. IN a AD environment currently, but will switch to OpenLDAP soon'ish. For doing storage of data in networked home drives that would ideally be accessible from phones/laptops & remote access as well. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
