I've a fairly big file on an external HD and the volume is formatted as FAT32, so Windows can eventually access it as well.

a little bit of data encryption keeps everyone a bit more happier and safer. I just symlink off, or point all of my personal data to /home/secure
I know it is possible to do full drive encryption, but I personally don't have data that warrants me to encrypt the swap etc. People who are capable/willing to slurp data of my machine most probably have far higher targets, or would just use the rubber hose technique as that is far cheaper
The windows ext2 driver works with ext3, there is quite a bit of info out there claiming that ppl have gotten faster read speeds from it over ntfs (also some saying its slower). I haven't tried it myself.
Personally all of my big external HDD are ext3 and if i need to access the data from a XP box I tend to drag that off via samba.
