[NTLUG:Discuss] mounting drives from other os

Greetings.

Does any one know of an application (freeware/shareware or commercial) that
allows the Linux user to mount NTFS or HFS+ firewire and/or usb drives to
Linux?  The mount must be read/write to native format, must be able to see
relatively large drives (250gig+) and must be STABLE.

Our production side is unix based.  What I am trying to acheive is the
ability to mount a mac or pc firewire drive onto a linux box, then export it
via nfs for read/write operations.

I have played with the HFS+ and NTFS kernel modules, but there are quite a
few caveats that accompany them, mostly when it comes to writing.

Google has not been forthcoming.

Any thoughts?

TIA,

Monty
