And this is the same filesystem > we've been using for several years? HFS+ was orginated with MacOS 8.6. However, the filesystem drivers in Darwin are considerably different than traditional MacOS. Many unix or unix-type systems are able to handle a great variety of filesystems, in addition to their native filesystem type, and this includes Darwin. Linux is probably the most versatile, and can read and write to 33 different filesystem types, including FAT, NTFS, UFS, and even most recently, HFS+ with an alpha quality HFS+ filesystem driver being developed at SourceForge. So to answer your question, yes. The filesystems between OS 9 and OS X are the same, but OS X is using the Darwin drivers. -- Chris Olson Network Administrator AST Communications, Inc Barron, WI USA
