sharing FW drive w/OS-X
Hi, I've been battling this for some time, and I figured perhaps someone here has done this already. I have a 60GB IDE drive in a firewire enclosure. Works great w/FreeBSD. It's partitioned like so: Offset Size(ST)End Name PType Desc Subtype Flags 0 63 62- 12 unused0 63 94365747 94365809da0s1 8freebsd 165 94365810 22860495 117226304da0s2 7fat6 117226305 5103 117231407- 12 unused0 And I'd like to use one of those spare fdisk partitons (not a slice) on my OS-X machine for backup purposes. The fat partition is left over from a test to see if a newfs_msdos partition would mount on OS-X (it did). Any idea on the partition ID for HFS? From the little info I could find, OS-X/Apple has their own partition table in sector 2, which is independant of the normal partition table. Rather than delve into this further and confuse the issue, I'll leave this at Has anyone done this?...

While we're talking about Firewire is it possible to have the firewire enclosure connected to two systems at the same time so you don't have to go about unplugging and plugging cables? Assuming that the above can be done, what about simultaenous access to the device (both systems accessing the device at the same time)? Will it work if only reads are done? I won't open the can of worms of simultaneous write access :-) Thanks, Marc -- Marc Wiz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes, that really is my last name. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maybe you are confusing the terms. fdisk makes slices not partitions. Within a slice, disklabel makes partitions. Each of those pieces you have listed above are slices. Since Microsloth calls slices partitions, I am not surprised that this is confusing. jerry The fat partition is left over from a test to see if a newfs_msdos partition would mount on OS-X (it did).
