FAT32 has a soft limit of 2TB (smallest sector size) and a hard limit of
16TB (largest sector size)

For maximum device flexibility, you'll want to use SAMBA for sharing
your NAS. If everything you have can support NFS, that'd get you a
performance increase over SAMBA.

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.
