I'm contemplating adding a large, removable (USB) disk to some systems,
to hold (legal) MP3s.  The question is what file system to use.

I can clearly use FFS, but that's NetBSD-only; I couldn't share the drive
with a Windows box.  FAT32 is, as I recall, size-limited; certainly,
Windows won't even format a large partition that way.  NetBSD can't write
NTFS file systems.  Are there other options?
