I didn't see anything in the documentation that said you couldn't use UFS to boot from, but the system install process will only get so far before it hangs if you do. Currently I have a 5gig HFS and a 5gig UFS partition. Most my apps, and fink, are installed on the HFS and generally use the UFS partition as media storage. What problems have people been having using the Unix File System with OS X? Jim
