My setup is: MBR Boot with GRUB2 All three share the same (extended) partition for swap. Shared data partitions are EXT2 (AFAIK FreeBSD can mount EXT3 but treats it as EXT2 - i.e. no journalling). One of the Linuxes is installed in an extended partition I don't claim that my setup is absolutely optimal, but it's been 100% reliable and works for me. Note: My use of the word "partition" is in the Linux sense. HTH.
