Hi all,
I format a ext disk (UFS) and transfer some files into it, hand it
over to my friend who has a macbook. He complained the macbook can't
read it. I don't have a mac on hand, I wonder if there is any utility
that will help a mac to read a BSD, thanks!!
Macs use GUID partition tables. These are supported by the GENERIC
FreeBSD kernel (at least in 7.1). You'll need the gpt(8) program to
make
them. The following link is a kind of HOWTO:

Formatting the Disk GUID is a start. Your friend could use FUSE as
well though. It's available for OS X (see http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/)
. Or you could format the FreeBSD disk with UFS1! which is afaik
supported by OS X.
