I have deleted the OP, so I may not remember exactly what [s]he is
looking for, but if it is just to have some common space that each
OS can read/write, but not necessarily boot from eg each OS has its
own bootable disk space and this is just used between then, then
maybe FAT32 might do the trick.   It doesn't preserve some of
the UNIX ownership and permission stuff though.
