FAT32 shouldn't be a problem, but write support for NTFS might not be

list the file system type. I find that for USB drives that will be used
with both Linux& Windows systems, FAT32 works fine. I also have some
Linux only ones that are formated with ext2.
Ubuntu/linux can r/w to ntfs w/o issue. However if the usb is write
protected then he will need to modify the usb and/or copy the file to
his system to open in write mode.
Are permissions preserved with NTFS? When I use a USB drive with ext2,
I have to create a folder with my ID, so that I can write to it. Does
the same occur with NTFS? This doesn't happen with FAT32, which is why
I use it for drives that will also be used with Windows.
