ok, after a mess of trying different partition types + reformating. the easiest way i found to set up a partition to share data between macOS + debian is as follows,.. . using debian, su to root. use mac-fdisk to create a partition of type Apple_FREE create a msdos filesystem on the same partition # mkdosfs -v -F 32 -n f4 /dev/hda14 for example, will create a fat32 filesystem on a partition readable by mac+llinux on hda14. (however, mac-fdisk still thinks its an Apple_HFS partition?!?!?) then 'mount -t vfat' should mount it fine., otherwise, make sure msdos filesystem support is in the kernel (or modules)
