[WLUG] A couple of questions...

[Rick Green]

1) I'm setting up an external hard drive that I'll use for audio files. It 
needs to be mountable and writable on both Linux and Mac OSX systems. What 
filesystem would I select to optimize reliability and I/O thruput on both of 
these systems?

2) I'd like to set up a multi-boot system, with each OS mounting the same 
volume for my home directory.  I have problems, however, with application 
configuration files getting corrupted from a different version of the same.  Is 
there some way I can set up a filesystem so that all of the 'dot' files in my 
home directory are stored on the OS boot drive, and all the 'regular' files are 
on my separate home drive, mounted as an 'overlay', so that as a user I see all 
of them appearing to be in one home directory?
