Uh, never mind. For some reason Mac OS X will no longer mount the FAT32 partition. According to the OS X Disk Utility program, OS X does recognize the partition as Windows FAT32, it just refuses to mount it.


Anyone have any thoughts on how to share 160 GB between Linux and OS X?

Turns out that the FAT32 cannot be LBA type ("c" in fdisk). Instead it must be the straight FAT32 ("b" in fdisk). Here's the partition layout that I used that seemed to work:


# fdisk -l /dev/sdc

Disk /dev/sdc: 163.9 GB, 163928604672 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19929 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdc1             1      9727  78132096    b  Win95 FAT32
/dev/sdc2          9728     18238  68364607+   b  Win95 FAT32
/dev/sdc3         18239     18482   1959930    b  Win95 FAT32

There also seems to be a size restriction under OS X. While I was able to mount the 80 GB partition, a 160 GB partition under OS X. I'll go back and investigate it later.
