File System Trap
One of the biggest problems we have with the file systems is that we do not have a proper open file system, where we supported across different platforms.
On Linux, we have several, but none of them are supported on Mac OS X nor Windows. But Linux does support HPFS from Mac, Windows doesn't. Fat-32 is supported in all three platforms, but can only have files smaller than 2Gb. NTFS readable under Mac and Linux, Linux supports NTFS writing, but Mac does not.
Final out come, there is no way that I can find a file system, which supports Large files and cross compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac.

CIFS / NFS proved their portability as network file systems, but this is not much of a use if you consider an USB stick. Specially when the USB sticks are available in bigger sizes, where FS limitations becoming concern.
