ExFAT: Present is the renovation of the past and so is the name exFAT. Microsoft has created the replacement of FAT32 and named it as exFAT. This file support system has been introduced in the Windows Vista SP1 and is compatible with PC and MAC. The lowest size of exFAT is 16 EB i.e. ![]() I've a laptop with triple boot, Yosemite, Windows 8.1, CentOS 7, and need a partition for sharing files between the 3 os's, i've been using exFAT, as it is supported by OSX & Windows but had some issues with linux and after try to mount it on linux, osx didn't recognize it, and i was unable to mount it, then just windows recognized it and after 1 day of using it got corrupted, i had to get my data back with TesDrive. Now i'm looking for the most accepted file sys to share files between them, so far i've found these options: • NTFS: Using MacFUSE & NTFS-3G to enable read/write access, or Paragon NTFS, but i've heard some bad things about stability & speed of those options. I would not like to lose my data. • HFS+: Using MacDrive Pro in windows to have read/write access to mac partition, i guess there's a way to allow linux support for hfs+.

Heard some good & bad things about MacDrive but still not so sure. • exFAT: This way is the way i've already tried, bad experience with it, but most of the people seems to approve this option. Maybe i did something wrogn, BUT still the data loss is a problem. • FAT32: Limited drive size. Limited permission settings. Not the one i would like to pick. Needs hierarchically ordered: • Stability (No data loss) • Great File Size support • Journaling • Speed UPDATE 1: After more research i've found, seems to be nice, but. How good is it in real life? Does it offer real NTFS full support as it says?, great Stability? Is it worth for the price? I've done this kind of thing for years and can probably help you avoid the same pains I went through. Cloud storage would be ideal for some use-cases, but sketchy on privacy/security without additional work, and not necessarily suitable for use cases involving a large amount of data. (I've worked around security/privacy issues with transparent per-file encryption, and use this in parallel with the solution I've outlined below, for different use cases.) Here are the local storage solutions in increasing order of viability (which is inherently subjective and dependent on specific use cases): • exFAT: At the bottom only because of my own lack of experience with it, and its relative newness. • NTFS: I've had all kinds of problems with NTFS-3G, going back and forth between Windows, Mac, and Linux. File corruption, lost data, etc. This was a few years ago, maybe it's better now - but it was 'sold' as solid then and it wasn't. • FAT32: In my experience, this is the only truly 'cross-platform' file system that can bridge Mac, Linux, and Windows. (And cameras, and TVs, and.) You can in theory overcome the 32GB FAT32 limitation, with, but I don't know how compatible it is across systems. • A virtual machine sharing its native filesystem to the host OS via CIFS: This is hands-down the best solution for most of my use cases. Years ago when I got fed up with the data corruption using NTFS-3G, I started using a small VM running Windows 2000, and shared an NTFS volume 'natively' to the host OS via CIFS. Performance can't compare to directly attached storage, but I finally got to say goodbye to data corruption and the distrust and headaches it caused. NTFS formatted from Windows 2000, worked flawlessly and interchangeably with more modern versions of Windows, including switching back and forth between Windows 2000 in a VM, and Windows Vista (at the time). But still, NTFS just wasn't robust enough for reliably storing massive amounts of data over long periods of time, even if in a mirrored configuration (and especially in a RAID5 configuration). Mainly due to bitrot and lack of checksumming. Granted, it was the best thing around for a long time, but not any more. Now, the only 'cross-platform' file system I use is ZFS, presented via CIFS by Linux running in a VM. (I'm also increasingly using BTRFS which recently seems to have crossed some threshold of stability for my use cases. For a long time I only used it experimentally and it often let me down.) I don't use ZFS for Mac OS, only ZFS on Linux. (I used to use an OpenSolaris VM to host ZFS for the sake of purity and support for the most up-to-date ZFS features, until Oracle messed it up.) I tried ZFS for Mac a while back and it was too unstable and outdated.
