A question for you kind folk: What would be the best filesystem to use on a partition to be shared by NetBSD and Gentoo?
I'm planning to set up a dual boot system to sort of A/B test them to see which works best for me for different things, and I'd like a data partition that they can both use.
My guess is that I will end up with at least one computer running each of these (where I am currently running Debian on everything).

@pacavegano both should support ZFS and FAT32. Not sure about NTFS for read/write ops.

Natively there is only read-only support, read-write support is available from ntfs-3g.
