I'm not even sure that HFS+ is 'open' to other types of OS to try to use, but I could be wrong it's only a partition type. You can view ext2 (I don't know about ext3) in MacOSX by getting the ext2fs tool . This will show up in System Preferences and allow you to 'see' the contents of the drive/partition. There again, I'm not a Gentoo or even a Linux user. My installation failed, and corrupted my partition map, and led to the loss of my OS X partition and 206 applications. Jon i didnt fount a linux-tool to format a partition as hfs+ lg steph.
