I was always dubious of MountX, so I have opted for the HFS partition
option, too. But I actually prefer to use MOL & netatalk to share drives
-- I leave linux running, boot into MOL and then connect via appletalk to
my shared volumes. That way I can keep serving files to my Windows machine
via samba and I don't have to unmount the HFS exchange partition.
It works nicely, though MOL is a bit touchy (*much* more solid under YDL
2.0 than it was with LinuxPPC Q4).
