question came up on [neurostars](https://neurostars.org/t/downloading-data-for-the-dartbrains-online-course/23430/7) and I had no good answer: what would be the best filesystem to use on external drives which would be portable (mountable) across OSes and would provide git-annex with needed features (symlinks, permissions handling, and locking?).
I love BTRFS on Linux but I do not think it is (and neither ext* family) is portable. Is there **any** filesystem which would be portable across Windows/OSX/Windows and still work with git-annex without needing adjusted-branches mode?
