No. HFS+ has a special option at formatting time for journal. It's been the default on recent OS X though, but it can be disabled. I always take care of not enabling HFS+ journaling, that might be the cause of the problem, but it's indeed a bit "harsh" if we are indeed causing the drive to no longer be recognized in OS X just by mounting it. > > Also, OS X has a new "HFSX" that may have issues with linux > > support, I haven't tried. > I don't have that option when formatting in DU/OS X Ok. > > I wonder if you are simply having firewire problems, difficult to > > say... > I've tried this on two dual boot Apple boxes: a G3 iMac DV and a G3 > iBook 500MHz...when booted into Linux they both recognized the HFS > drive but then when mounting that same drive on a machine in OS X it > was unreadable...
