iPartition - Creating other filesystems and compatability
Authored by: plugger on Dec 01, '04 03:52:09AM

G'day all. I've had a quick look at iPartition, and I must say that I've had a few issues with it. Basically, I can create, resize, delete any partitioning info on any disk I choose, but I've had trouble reading them on other systems. Here's an example. I use a 12" PB running 10.3.5 for my main workstation, but I've also got a couple x86 laptops running SuSE 9.1. The reasoning for this distro choice is the reliability/compatability of FireWire on the system out of the box (3 laptops, 4 external FW HDD, you get the idea). Anyway, I tried to create some linux formatted partitions (the option is available for ext2, ext3, reiser, etc) and yet none of these partitions appear on my linux boxen after they've been created. I know we're in OS X hints, but has anyone else had any experiences with this that might be able to tell me where I've gone wrong (or maybe what's up with the software conversely).

Regards,

plug

What does the developer have to say about it?
