On the Linux side, it has a mount-point in /etc/fstab of type hfsplus.

the patched version of parted on the Gentoo LiveCD. So at the MacWorld
Expo, when Prosoft Engineering told me that their new product Drive Genius
is the only program that resizes HFS+, I only told them about VolumeWorks.
They still didn't believe me. I think I might go back there today and tell
them about these other programs. So there are exactly four that will do
this job:
1) VolumeWorks:2) iPartition: <http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iPartition.html>
3) Drive Genius: <http://www.prosofteng.com/products/drive_genius_info.php>
4) Gentoo parted: <http://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/ppc/2004.3/livecd/>
At least this part could help you resize the OS X partition without destroying
the information contained inside.
The partition or directories sharing part, has to be split up in two use
cases:
1. share directories/partitions simultaniously (as in: both OS's accessing the
same partition at the same time)
2. share them, but only one OS gets to write to the partition at any one given
moment.
1. In the first case (which could happen when you run MOL with MacOS X) you
could setup Appletalk or NFS shares on both linux and Mac OS X, and mount
these shares on the other system. Since those are network file systems, they
deal automatically with simultaneous write actions.
2. The second case is valid when you only have linux or Mac OS X running at
any given time, but never the two together. In this case, you could either
setup a hfs partition, that can be mounted in both OS'es, or find a ext2/ext3
driver for Mac OS X (via Fink ?) and setup a ext2/ext3 partition you can
mount in both linux or Mac OS X.
As you see, it depends on the way you will be using it, but it's certainly
possible.

Sometime ago there was a detailed discussion on how YDL and OS X can share
directories or partitions on one drive. I'm interested in discovering if
this is so and if there is a special installation process for a PB which
would allow me to install YDL 4 without wiping whatever is on the PB drive.
Any takers....?
Thanks...ahead of time for your input. Best wishes...Derick.
