Filesystem of choice for a Linux/FreeBSD shared backup disk?

Except that you cannot create files with >4GB size on FAT32. You might 
be able to use an archiver that is able to split archives into smaller 
parts.

This has always been a problem. FreeBSD is open source. So Linux is, but 
they do not have a common filesystem that could be accessed from both 
system, WITHOUT compromises. :-(
