I am using a flash-drive ('usb-stick') on my ibook and x86 pc with linux, mac os x and windows xp All operating systems will discover an 'ibm-pc' partition (and if it is formatted in fat/vfat, all OS can also read/write to it).Under linux, you will need to have the msdos partition type support compiled in; I do not know if that is the case for the default kernel: CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION=y
All my kernel's do support this.
you can then use fdisk on x86 to create a partition which should be accessible from everywhere.
Hmm, this is what i did. Created under x86/linux one Partition (sda1), `mkdosfs /dev/sda1` and voila, i had access to it. As i wrote, on my ibook mounting sda1 doesn't work. I had to initialize a partition map and got it only mounted as sda2. Now i'm confused, because i can't delete the sda1 and sda2 partition under my ibook ??? Do you mount your stick on the ibook as sda1 or sda2 ? greets, clee -- moqua [at] gmx.net moqua [at] kurtenba.ch
