You're right. I'll consider to migrate everything to NTFS.

The reason why I still prefered FAT32 was that I used to backup some
directory trees by sync-ing them against FTP servers. NTFS volumes were
out of sync whenever we changed to daylight-saving time and back because
windows returns a modified timestamp on NTFS volumes, while FTP doesn't.
I avoided these annoyances stolidly keeping at FAT32.
