Thanks kindly for the reply... what Linux filesystem would be the best for external drives?

I'd use whatever your Linux system has defaulted to when you installed it.

Probably EXT4. That's going to work with pretty any much any distro that was released in the last couple of years.

Was going to chime in here and say EXT4, but someone got to it.

We use EXT file systems on all our linux servers and nothing else.

On AIX we use jfs2.
