Hi,

This depends on what you are looking for. Generaly zfs will be more secure due to checksum feature. Having seen a lot of ntfs / fat drives going south die to bad sectors i'd not clasify them very secure. However ntfs and fat can be used nearly on every os.

And also you shouldnt forget the extra capabilities of zfs like snaphots ...

On a -single- drive, what is the best filesystem to use: zfs, ntfs or good old fat32 I've a 500G sata drive lying around which I can (samba) share from a server (but then ntfs can not be used) or just format is with either ntfs or fat32 and attach it with usb2 when needed. I'm in doubt.. I've read that zfs on a single drive is not safe enough, or that at least fat32/ntfs are safer. What is true?
