Would I kill anything converting it to FAT32? >Would I lose performance? Originally I wanted to use a FAT32 partition as a shared partition between windows and linux on a dual boot machine. One thing I tried to put on the partition was the CCC archive files. There are many thousands of files, and the FAT32 filesystem had a problem with that. The limit for files in one directory is around 65,000 or so, so I had to put those on a NTFS filesystem, and had no problems. I would recommend recompiling your linux kernel with NTFS support, unless you need write access to the partition, then you're kind of stuck with FAT32 AFAIK.
