Hosed, how so ? what does Disk Utils says specifically ? I mount HFS+ partitions regulary here without problems. However, make sure it's not journaled. Also, OS X has a new "HFSX" that may have issues with linux support, I haven't tried. > anyone else have this experience? > is it possible to do backups from LinuxPPC and OS X on to one drive > part'd into ext3 and OS X? I wonder if you are simply having firewire problems, difficult to say... Do you see any error in linux dmesg ? If not, I would recommend you send a detailed report to Roman Zippel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, the linux HFS+ maintainer Ben. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
