I know I can do this by putting /usr/home on a NTFS partition but am worried about the slowness of ntfs-3g/ntfsprogs (90% of the time I am in FreeBSD and have several things going that need decent disk performence [bit torrents]). Any ideas? BTW an added plus would be some way to automatically have one or all the OS's maintain archival copies for backup purposes
