When copying large files to a locally mounted ext2 filesystem my system always locks up. Is this a known problem in 64bit mode? Which filesystem is recommended for multi-OS file exchange?

I've heard enought reports of ext2 problems on 32-bit i386, that I don't trust it in situations that "have to work". By far the most widely supported FS is vfat32 [mount_msdosfs(8)].
