 If you want to add another HFS partition without erasing the current
ones, then Apple's tools are definitely not the way to go. I suspect you
could do it in Linux, but I would recommend using FWB's Hard Disk Toolkit
(www.fwb.com) as HFS support in Linux has been not that great
(understandably as HFS really sucks as a file system).

Cheers,
