Well, I use a file server (FreeBSD) with NFS + Samba, so it can be accessed from both Windows and FreeBSD machines. Samba works surprisingly well, I even dare to say it works better than NFS. > is there something better than fat32? That question seems to imply that fat32 is not sufficient for what you need. So what exactly do you need that fat32 does not support? Usually, for multimedia files, fat32 works just fine. it doesn't support ownership, permissions and a few other things, but that doesn't matter much for multimedia files on your private home machine. If you do need to restrict access to some files, one solution is to put those on a separate fat32 FS and mount it with proper options (see mount_msdosfs(8): -u, -g, -m, -M) so only certain users or groups can access it.
