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.
