Mounting the Linux Drive in Mac OS X

[Doctor Vince]

I'm pretty sure that you would need to configure NFS for this. Getting 
BSD (OS X) and Linux to talk via NFS is not too difficult, but you will 
have to share your NFS exports 'insecure' as BSD flavors don't use 
restricted ports to generate the NFS request.

I had some problems with NFS for OS X earlier (about a year ago), but 
since 10.3.4-5 it seems to work pretty well.
