[ale] Seeking Filesystem Guidance

[Stephen R. Blevins]

     I have a terabyte external drive i got from my step-son.  Linux 
Mint claims it is in FUSE format.  I use it for both data storage and 
for A/V media storage.  I do like the fact that I can mount it and write 
to it from Linux Mint, *and* that our BlueRay player can also read it 
and display .mkv files correctly from it.

     I just purchased a couple of terabyte drives (from Microcenter, 
where else).  Their startup instructions assume a Winders environment, 
claiming that Winders will automagically create a filesystem on them (I 
assume in NTFS format).

     My request for guidance is, "If I format them from Linux, what 
filesystem format should I select?"

Thanks in advance.
