I'm pretty sure that you would need to configure NFS for this. Getting BSD (OS X) and Linux to talk via NFS is not too difficult, but you will have to share your NFS exports 'insecure' as BSD flavors don't use restricted ports to generate the NFS request.

I had some problems with NFS for OS X earlier (about a year ago), but since 10.3.4-5 it seems to work pretty well.

Clint, from what I can see, ext2fsx (Mac OS X Ext 2 Filesystem)
is the only software for Mac OS X for viewing Ext2 or Ext3
filesystems. The program seems a bit buggy, howevever, in that
I cannot override permissions on the volumes. I can edit my
linux home folder, but that's all that I can change (even with
permission override on and automount off). Preferences in
general (besides mounting and unmounting) do not work.
Otherwise, the software works great!

Thanks for the report! I wonder if the ext2fsx extension would allow me to mount a partition from a YDL (or any Linux distro) machine on my Mac OS X desktop over a local network? That would be extremely useful.


Best wishes,
Clint
