On the Mac side:

Mac OS Standard = hfs
Mac OS Extended = hfs+

And then there are the other options, including Unallocated, and Unix 
variants.

<smaller>I'm glad you're still working on this. I've already
partitioned my drive

to try to share a volume between OS X and YDL, and am just now getting

into the nitty gritty. I did not manage to find a way to save the OS X

installation, so I just reformatted. Disk Druid did not offer a way to

resize the OS X partition, so I didn't venture any further with that.</smaller>


<smaller>Anyway, using my OS X installation CDs, I created a Mac OS
Extended

partition and installed OS X on it. I created a large Mac OS Extended

partition for use in sharing files between Mac and Linux. Finally, I

created a Free Space partition for Linux and installed YDL on it.</smaller>


<smaller>Here's where things stand at the moment: I can't seem to
access the

large volume I created from YDL (even without MOL running). It is

recognized as /dev/hda3, but I can't mount it.</smaller>


<smaller>Do I need to set a mount point for this volume in YDL and
assign

user-level read/write permissions to it before I can access it in YDL?

Or was Mac OS Extended perhaps the wrong format to choose (HFS+, per
se,

is not an option--I think the only options are Mac OS Standard, Mac OS

Extended, Free Space, and UNIX)?</smaller>


<smaller>I'll keep working on this, but I'll look forward to receiving
any

suggestions you might have for now.</smaller>


<smaller>Thanks again,</smaller>
