I just use fdisk or something similar and mkfs.

See Alan's post a few weeks ago about lifetime on consumer solid state
devices.

I've been running ext2 and ext3 on external devices for years. I even
setup RAID on my most recenth USB thumb drive :).

m$ will not be able to read the ext? partition.

The USB drive is effectively just a hard drive, so you can make multiple
partitions, etc.

If you leave some room as fat$whatever, then m$ will be able to read that
partition.

Wonder if it's possible to put samba or something on a fat partition that
can read the ext? partition.

ciao,
