I'm planning on dual booting Windows and Linux on my computer, but each system from a separate hard drive, but what about my 3rd hard drive (which i use mostly for storing games, videos etc...) Should i use ExFAT? I can't really use NTFS because Linux can't write to it.
File system for 3rd hard drive on Win/Linux PC?

What's fstab?

It’s a text file that describes which partition and filesystem must be started (mounted) when the system boots. Generally it’s /etc/fstab. It’s a crucial configuration file.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Linux can handle NTFS (the module is in the kernel). I have a partition formatted with NTFS made for this purpose (shared games files and data). You have to add a line in fstab with the right parameters though…
