I think someone on another mailing list I'm on recently had the same
question. M$, Linux, *BSDs and Mac share one file system in common....
ext2. There are either native drivers in the kernels or apps to help
read them. Otherwise if you tossed out BSD's FAT16/32 would be the
"native" FS without any add ons. 

For the past 72 hrs I have been rebuilding my laptop. One was a problem
unrelated to the MAJOR issue I had. Encfs/Fuse took a @%@# on me. I did
some look ups and about 8 months ago on mostly Debians mailing lists
there seems to be a reoccuring problem with OpenSSL and AES. Two fixes
were suggested one was to make sure I was on the same version of Boost
that generated the xml file. That did not work. The other was ONLY use
OpenSSL and Blowfish for encryption. I was looking at 500gb of data to
sort through or possibly could have lost if my backups and rsync with
the showcruft option for encfsctl  didn't work. I still have the -v
switch on but my passwd and OpenSSL/Blowfish were used to open my stuff.
Before using rsync and the backups it was OpenSSL/AES.

I think Truecrypt is in my future for ease of installation and normal
use in my encryted schemas.
