I'm migrating from Windows to Trisquel. I'd like to know what format should I
give to a USB external hard drive or stick to be used on Trisquel. I used to
give NTFS to my devices used on Windows. For a while, I guess I'm going to
need to use the same external memory devices on both, Windows and GNU/Linux,
while the migration lasts. So I'd like to know whether there is a format to
be used safely on both operating systems without distinction. I have checked
that my USB memory devices formatted NTFS can be read and written on
Trisquel, but is it safe? Can I have any lost of data or anything at any
moment?
As far as I know the folder Home on Trisquel is on a format called xfs. Shall
I format a USB external memory device and give it an xfs format?
I have noticed that a partition on my hard drive of my computer, formatted
NTFS, that I have it only to store data, is not always accessible from
Trisquel. That's why I'm afraid of using NTFS on GNU/Linux.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you.
