FFS is sensitive to Endian issues, you cannot mount a FFS partiton created on a macppc on an i386.

I'm about 80% positive that ext2 does not suffer from these Endian issues, you should be able to access the partition on both your i386 and your macppc.

As I said in another similar topic, using FFS on a portable mass storage device is not really an option if you have a mixed environment like yours..

You can have several EXT2 partitions on the disk, that would be the safest bet.. there is FAT, but it does not support Unix file permissions.. so I did not mention it.

Hope that helps.
