ME: I want a 5 TB hard drive
Amazon: We can do that
Canada Computers: I can give you 12 TB for twice the price
Christine: Wait, Canada Computers has 12 TB drives for *how* much? Get two
Me, walking back from yonge-dundas square the next morning, absolutely twisted, carrying 24 TB of platter drives:

Hey if I want to format an HD for archival purposes, and I want it to be accessible from both Windows* and Linux** without problems, do I use… exfat? Will exfat freak out if I format it at absurdly high sizes like 12 TB, or give me an annoyingly high "minimum file size" or something? Are there any more-reliable/journaled FSes that both these OSes are happy with?
