[gentoo-user] mount mac disks?

[Mark Knecht]

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
