But be aware of filesize limitations on VFAT partitions. This can be
annoying if you deal with files over 4GB (say, Blu-Ray rips).

ExFAT is the newest incarnation of FAT and it supports humungous files.
There is some support for ExFAT on Linux, but I don't know how much is
baked into default kernels.

Cheers,
Scott
