Since HFS+ is native to OS X, it should know how to deal with such a filesystem the best. > So, how do I acess the work I have on this drive? Make sure the filesystem is in tact, and perhaps try copying he data off the drive in OS X onto another drive. If that works, try in Linux. If not, I'd back up, whipe the drive, and start a fresh with a compatible filesystem for all OSs you use. Luke</blockquote><div> Thankfully this wasn't necessary.  HFS+ was the best comprimise:  FAT32 would limit file size, EXT3 wouldn't allow access from Mac OSX.  I find I'm using Mac less now that I have Ubuntu on the MacBook; maybe I will eventually back everything up, and reformat the drive to a Linux filesystem. Thanks, guys, Paul </div></div> </div>
