cross OS file system that works on Windows 10+, Linux, and OS X

First, I realize there are many duplicate questions but they are all quite old and their answers may not be relevant anymore. I would assume (or hope) that in our constantly evolving technology landscape there is now a better solution than using 3rd party, potentially buggy, drivers to read NTFS.

Is there?

  • FAT32 has a size limit
  • HFS+ is wonky in Linux, especially since CoreStorage (FileVault) is usually enabled by default
  • exFAT works but based on online articles/comments it seems to have a lot of bugs/issues
  • NTFS - requires 3rd party drivers/libraries that may not always be 100% perfect
  • something better?!?!?!

    I would have proposed exFAT, but you are right - it is buggy. The next bet is NTFS - it works well with FUSE and easily automated with autofs.

    You definitely should stay away from HFS+ - it's an abomination.
