I'd be interested in a solution as well... I have an NAS drive on VFAT which
works great for storing dmg's and the like but ruins actual system files. So
it's not viable for a direct backup medium.
I am aware that Linux can mount HFS read/write but I have heard its
not that safe.
It's not safe in my expeirences with doing this. Mounting OSX as "rw,force"
in fstab gave me a non-bootable OSX after a couple days with no clear way of
fixing it. Threw me to a black OSX command prompt after the spinning wheel
bootup screen asking for a user name/passwd, none of which worked... :-(
Couldn't login in as root or my user. Format time.. No fun... Pretty sure
it's because the HFS partition was journaled. I'm betting that if you
install OSX on a non-journaled HFS, linux won't bork it while writing. Not
sure...
