I have Edgy in dualboot with macosx. Every time I enter macosx there is a screen saying:" macosx does'nt recognize the disk with ubuntu, what shall I do ? initalize, ignore or remove ?"
How can I get rid of this window?

I would advise against doing that [without backups and knowing you take a risk]. extfs caused me kernel panics and corrupted my ubuntu partition.

I use that ext2 driver. But I specify in the system prefs in OS X for it to be read only. That is safe, and you cannot do any harm if you use that setting.

well the time it corrupteds my ubuntu partition, it was in read-write mode true, though even in read-only mode it caused OS X kernel panics...

well anyway perhaps it's my configuration, but it does look unstable
