Right now, the Linux is hard to sopport NTFS write access. It is
dangerous.
You can visit
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/status.html for
detail.
The most NAS in the world used Linux OS.
And, if you want to use the big partition ( >32giga) for your usb
harddrive.
Maybe you can consider to use Acronis PartitionExpert 2003 , Paragon
Partition Manager 2000 , PartitionMagic ,The Partition Resizer or
Syncronys BigDisk to format a harddrive with FAT32.
In my point of view, FAT32 can be used by Any Windows/OS, but NTFS
can't.
Hope it is useful for you.
