ntfs - What filesystem for shared (read/write) PC/Mac external drive?




Is there a recommended filesystem to use when sharing an external drive between the Mac and PC? I understand there are options for Macs to read/write NTFS filesystems and also for PCs to read/write HFS+ filesystems. Is there a preferred filesystem or perhaps a different filesystem that both Mac and PC and read/write?


I know I could use FAT32 but some of the files I use are larger than 4 GB (i.e. Virtual Machine images)
