The Mac was HFS+ journaled. Disk: the stock Apple-supplied one. The Linux machine was a default SuSE 8.0 installation. ext2 as the filesystem? No idea about journaling. No SCSI or RAID, just an internal IDE disk. Both machines are really consumer-level machines, no heavy-duty server hardware. That's about all I can tell you, I really don't know that much about the details of the hardware. Sorry, not much help here, I know.
Hmm. The Mac had journaling but the Linux box did not (ext2 is not journaled). That could have influenced things too. I know virtually nothing about HFS+ journaling.
You can turn off journaling in 10.3 in Disk Utility by going to File and selecting Disable Journaling. This page has some visuals:

There is a Terminal command that does the same thing that I don't know off the top of my head.
diskutil disableJournal disk0s1
