Formatting Test

Introduction

I was looking for a file system that can be used to transfer data between Windows 7, Windows XP SP3, Mac OS X 10 and Linux (Fedora 13 and Ubuntu 10). In January 2011 FAT32 was still be the best option for me, because Linux didn't understand ExFAT, at least yet. FAT32 formatting with Mac OS X 10 worked better than formatting with Fedora 13 (using default options).
