Hmm. I have the same question.
I just got a new Firewire harddisk enclosure. And I would like to share the new one between my Slackware machine and iBook.
I want read and write access to hfs+ (journaled) filesystem which is native to Mac Os X. I know Mac Os X supports UFS as well. There are some kind of limitation to the support with Mac concerning UFS. (not as much tools)
I can mount hfs CDs on my Slackware machine. Wondering whether i can write to it. Hmm. Since I am going to wipe out the harddrive, may as well experiment with it.
EDITED:This post shouldn't be in Linux Hardware. Hmm.. Maybe it is time to set up Linux FileSystem forum.
