Long Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 How so?Radish? 585660498[/snapback] Because if you use apps like CherryOS, it wouldn't need to worry about file system differences, because it Mac OSX could recognise your drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac OS X generally only installs to the Mac OS Extended FS (usually journaled now of days), and I think Server can install to UFS as well, but not sure why you would do that. Older OS X's may install just to the normal Mac OS FS. Isn't that HPFS anyhow and Apple just changed the name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTallack Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 It's generally a pretty good indication with Apple that a new OS will be released soon when they release 10.x.9. It was less then a month from OS 10.2.9 until they released Panter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simmorya Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 I cant wait for this patch. Hopefully it will fix all the problems in OSX. Wont be upgrading to Tiger until a 10.4.x is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoic Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Client can be installed on UFS also. OS X may have ben able to use the original HFS (not sure), but definitely not on large volumes. 585671029[/snapback] OS X was never able to install on original HFS volumes. HFS+ came in with System 8.1 (which is the same system the original iMac had) so pretty much every machine capable of running OS X would have an HFS+ formatted drive anyway. The original HFS would not have been POSIX compliant enough for the BSD-basis of OS X (HFS+ isn't entirely POSIX compliant either, as you cannot have filenames which differ only by case, i.e Install and INSTALL would be the same file on HFS+, but with ext2 for example they would be completely different files (this isn't the same as remembering case, HFS+ will remember the case of a filename, it just can't have two files which differ only by case)).

RadishTM Veteran Posted March 27, 2005 Author Veteran Share Posted March 27, 2005 10.3.9 builds continue with 7W86On late Friday, Apple seeded its Apple Developer Connection members the latest build of the Mac OS X 10.3.9 update, now reported to be at build 7W86. This new build is about 113.3 MB in size, and the included seed note offers some insight as to what is new in this build compared to previous seeds: - Issues where enumerating a WebDAV volume via Carbon may fail when a device returns an error were fixed. - JavaScript function unescape() no longer returns invalid value on certain webpages. - Inlcudes fixes from Security Update 2005-003. - iDisk Syncing issues from previous seeds were resolved. Apple is still asking developers to continue testing in many areas, including AFP file transfers, Bluetooth, DVD Player, Fonts, FireWire devices, Mail, iDisk syncing, Networking, Printing, Safari, Sleep, Terminal, USB devices, and general system stability.
