I've just acquired a brand new laptop. Did split my ssd in 3 partitions, one for win7, one for macOSX and one shared data partition. I chose exFAT for this partition, but i did not find how to create symlinks on it.
With win7 mklink won't work. Any suggestions/ideas?
Should i have picked NFTS for this shared partition ?

Symbolic links are nowhere referenced in the exFAT feature list. Additionally I remember that NTFS symbolic links only work if source and destination are NTFS partitions.
May be it is sufficient to mount the shared exFAT data partitions as a sub-directory somewehere on the NTFS partition?

UDF does support symbolic links (soft links). See the UDF rev2.01 specification: http://www.osta.org/specs/pdf/udf201.pdf and another reference: http://www.diskinternals.com/glossary/udf.html

Unfortunately mounting as a subfolder does not allow to create a symlink using
