If you're up to recompiling your kernel, you can add support for hfs
and hfsplus. You'll also want support built in for Mac partition
tables. If you choose as a module, you'll have to modprobe hfsplus
before using the disk. Even then mount *may* not correctly guess which
type it is, and you'll have to tell it.
If you're in a mixed linux/OSX environment you may also be interested
in a plug in that will let OSX read ext formatted disks. I haven't
used it myself yet, but I think this is the link.
