You are right but this isn't my case here :(, I have an external HD
which has HFS(+) file system on it and I want to use it with my  
FreeBSD

6.1-RC1

Any chances?


Mac OSX can't be installed onto a UFS formatted drive as far as I know
Most OSX programs won't run on it either
you can format partitions or drives other than the system drive with  
UFS not only at the installtion

it is HFS+ for Mac OS 8.1 and later


Are they supported in FreeBSD 6.0? How about 6.1-RC? Can we
write to that file system or only read at moment? Is it safe? I'm  
trying
to find something in the /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES file but  
nothing

is promising so far



http://people.freebsd.org/~yar/hfs/

add this to your kernelconfig file:
option  GEOM_APPLE  # Apple HFS+ support

I was able to compile it on FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p6 but haven't had  
the time to check if it actually works.



google for iPod and FreeBSD for more info :)

Mac OS X can be installed on volumes of different formats. These disk
formats have different features and characteristics. If you also  
plan to

use Mac OS 9 or don't have a preference, you should choose Mac OS
Extended (HFS Plus) format instead of UNIX File System (UFS).

ah ok, my bad :(

most apps don't like it though
