Yes, it must be HFS, NOT HFS Extended. GetInfo ( on MacOS ) will tell
you the partition type. Sorry to tell you, I do not know of a
"non-destructive" way to change partition types. All the methods which
I know about erase the partition. NOTE: you should change the ENTIRE
partition map to HFS... Not just the Linux partition. You're probably
better off to back up your entire drive and re-partition the entire drive
(using HFS partitions).
