UFS, I assume. Linux can read it, see 
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/ufs.txt

You can even install OS X on UFS, yet I don't know if it is the plain 
UFS from FreeBSD which Linux can read/write or something Apple modified 
and/or screwed up somewhat.

Also MOL can't boot an OS X that is on a UFS partiion.

Well, the new HFS+ patch from <http://www.ardistech.com/hfsplus/> seems 
to work real good also for write operations. It's in the benh tree by 
now so no need for manual patching.
