Good afternoon, Not a topic I see come up a lot. I finally bought my first Mac - a Mac Mini - and I'm fiddling around with external 1394 drives. If I use MSDOS as a file system for the drive then I have no trouble mounting the drive on any of my systems, but it made me wonder if I can format the drive using an Apple native partition type and mount that under Gentoo?
Is it possible? I had been assuming that since OS X is based on BSD Linux that it would be happy mounting ext3 drives but it doesn't mount them at all, at least using their default tools that recognized a 1394 drive when it's plugged in. Thanks in advance for info in this area. I've never used a Mac and bought this one on a whim after selling my x86 laptop. Not sure if I'm going to continue running OS X on it or whether I might try Gentoo. Cheers, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
