Partitioning hdd

[clem58]

If i partition a third of my hdd to be recognised by linux on my PS3 OS, will i only be able to download files from my PS3 linux unto that portion of my HDD. Will windows on my pc not recognise the linux portion of my HDD? Thanks in advance for replies.

I'm not entirely clear what you are wanting to do but I think that if you stick a disk with anything on that is not PS3 into the PS3 then the PS3 will reformat it.

I read that post of mine , must have been been pissed when i wrote it. What i want to know is, if i want my HDD formated to be recognised by linux on the PS3 what am i formatting it to. FAT32 is what it is now but the OS (linux ) doesn't recognise HDD. What do i need to do.Thanks for replies.

Hi clem58,
I haven't PS3... But I think if you format your HDD in with ext3, it will read / write on it.
You can explore an ext3 hdd on windows with chrysocome.net - Explore2fs
