 Unless you're dual-booting the machines to both OS, this is pointless.
 A client does not read or write server drives.
 It requests the server do it, and pass that information via the network
 file system, SMB only in the case of Micro$oft.
 Any of several protocols in the cases of any other OS.
 Any of the NTFS are far better than any of the FAT systems.
