Not really. Can anyone confirm that the fat32 limit is indeed 2GB?

You can get ext2 drivers for M$, but they're commercial and not cheap
(google for it).

Don't even think about it! Read support doesn't even work in some rare
cases (of course I hit one just the time I really need it to work).
Writing to ntfs will be followed by a format. The setup time for ntfs
on the Linux side is zero, just mount it. By default it will be
read-only.

If you need to swap files between windows and linux, limit yourself to
2GB or go via a samba share set up on some Linux box (the same or
another). Forking out for a bigger disk might also solve your problem.
