However, MacOS X keeps filesystem data in network byte order (aka big-endian); I'm not sure whether it knows how to understand a FreeBSD UFS filesystem, which most probably uses native little-endian byte order. It may still be worth a try. Otherwise, the best bet is to mount these drives on a FreeBSD box long enough to either rsync the data to some other machine, or take a backup using tar or dump. -- -Chuck
