ntfs or fat?
There is no file permissions for instance. Anything and anyone can access everything on the system. Your cat could delete your whole system. Even the most basic UNIX/Linux system has file permissions. If you don't "own" it, you don't get any more access than the owner lets you have. As most of the system runs under
