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 unused 0 63 94365747 94365809 da0s1 8 freebsd 165 94365810 22860495 117226304 da0s2 7 fat 6 117226305 5103 117231407 - 12 unused 0 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?"... Thanks, Charles
