Create HFS+ and FAT32 partitions on one external drive.
Using this method, would the HFS+ partition be bootable for OSX? For example, could I use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone an OSX boot disk to the HFS+ partition and be able to boot from it? Since it appears you have to type "hdid /dev/disk2s1" via Terminal whenever you want to mount the partition, I would assume you could NOT boot from it (but if you could, you would be my hero).

Can't help with that, sorry. The problem is in Open Firmware, it doesn't recognize MBR-kind (aka fdisk aka msdos aka windows type) partitions, so doesn't want to load BootX from it, even if file system there is HFS+. yaboot might be able to load OS X from such partition, but I don't know how to make it work this way. I'll try to figure out, though.

What is wrong with formatting the entire drive as FAT32? It will mount under OSX and Windows. No need for two partitions at all.

You can't boot from a Fat32 partition, for one thing (though it seems to be problematic booting using this methond as well).

At least one other problem with making the whole drive FAT is that psync loses its mind with any files containing : or ? or & or the \r in Icon files... to name a few. So if you're looking to use the drive for backups, it won't work. Works great on an HFS+ partition though...
FAT32 has a 4gb file size limit
One other problem I just discovered - FAT32 has a file size limit of 4gb. |
