Share between the three ones

[oskarloko]

I've a triple boot macbook - two for play, one for all.

I would like to make a share-data partition.

I've used ext3 with win (http://www.fs-driver.org/) and osx (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx) drivers.
But osx are buggy and doesn't work rigth

I was thinking on using vfat - but I don't know how to mount it on OsX...


¿ Is there any other fs accesible to three OS ?

[oskarloko]

mmm.. i didn't notice about that


Using HFS+ between OsX and Linux
Using ext3 between Linux and Xp

It's a little experimental... may work


But not one partition to share for them all...

[oskarloko]

Well, just using (into console on $HOME dir )



sudo mount_msdos /dev/disk0s6 /data
ln -s /data Data


and it works on OsX

I'll seek how to automount at init

On linux is only (into console on $HOME dir )


sudo mount /dev/sda6 /data
ln -s /data Data


I've to see about permissions, but on OsX I can use new partition without problems

( as it is more than a 4th primary partition, Win can't see it... but if it were beyond It would work )

Fat32 can be read and written on the Mac OS. HFS can be reliably written on OS X and Linux, and I believe there is a driver for WIndows. It may be shareware/commercial though.

Well, I saw this

and added my two cents

For the Redmon os

and with some money

( too much privative OS to be free, I'm afraid )

However, I'll looking foward a stable ext3 driver for OsX


Thanks !!
