[X-Unix] OSX and linux partitions on the same HD - again

[Warren Pollans]

Thanks, but I think I'll give up on this idea for a while - too convoluted.  ext2fs works fine and I'll use an ext3 partition to save stuff to from OSX - stuff like tarballs, disk images, and other files that don't require special "mac magic" :-)
