In particular, if you create a UFS file system on Mac OS X, FreeBSD will panic when you try to mount it. As such, I found it prudent to have more precise partition types so that you can have a "freebsd-ufs" partition alongside a "macosx-ufs" partition (the latter I just pulled out of the hat -- we don't actually support that type). > Also, gpart does not allow default values in add phase, which is a bit > annoying, especially when you create last partition; but we can live > with this > I hope ;) True. This is just a matter of enhancing the UI though and should not be difficult to do... FYI, -- Marcel Moolenaar xcllnt@mac.com
