I tried to create a zfs-pool on Solaris and was unable to import it to FreeBSD. So there are still some issues in relation to OS-platform-migrations. But other than that is this not a somewhat pessimistic approach not to try things out? :-) Many years ago (os x 10.0 or 10.1 I think) I tried to create an UFS-volume on os x but this was not recognized by FreeBSD (ver. 4.x). What other fs-type will work between os x and FreeBSD? FAT comes to my mind. -- regards Claus When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentlest gamester is the soonest winner.
