Hi,
I just bought a new external hdd. It came with a fat32 file system or something like that. I would like to format it using a more modern file system. I would prefer, if possible, to avoid the ntfs option at risk of not being able to connect the external hdd to the windows boxes. I would consider ntfs though if it will be proven to be more reliable and secure than the linux alternatives. My question is: what is the most reliable and secure (against file corruption or file loss) file system for an external hdd? Or at least what are the top options. I would also like to be able to secure my data on the hdd by encrypting the whole hdd - but this may be another issue.
Best regards,
pts
