surprisingly, the patch to enable i386 installations for hfsplus never made
it into the ports tree (or if it did, it's not there as of OpenBSD-3.9).
Anyway, this was _exactly_ what I needed to solve a rather annoying set of
requirements:
1) filesystem that's writeable on OS X
2) filesystem that's readable on OpenBSD
3) filesystem that supports file sizes > 4GB
While OS X supports some flavor of UFS, formatting a drive on OpenBSD first
and then plugging it into a Mac gives no useful results. Formatting as UFS
on OS X gives a 2^31-1 file size limit. NTFS write performance is too slow
with MacFUSE to be worthwhile for what I'm doing (backing up DVD images).
FAT32 also has 2^31-1 file size limit. Transferring many 4.5GB files over
the network (even if it were direct crossover cable) would take way too
long, so I'm making my DVD images on the macbook, writing them to an external
drive, and then plugging that drive into my server (with the terabyte of
RAIDFrame inside).
thanks again for the solution to a challenging problem.
