All the rest is divided up into ext3 data partitions. If you do any video

a small fat32 partition which is shared with a winxp virtual machine.

Hmm, how big are your files? ext3 can handle a file up to 2 terabytes
in size, although with a 1k block size it'll only handle 16 gigabytes
in a single file.

Or is there some other reason for using NTFS for large files? I'd
have thought ext3 would be better as it's actually supported ;-)
