read BSD format disk from Mac OSX

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!!

Re: How to create NTFS file system from FreeBSD?

Hi, correct me if I am wrong, but is it true that ntfsprogs is the only port that comes with formating disk into NTFS system? because days ago I also had this problem with my friend's extra USB 1T HD, I had to use my windows laptop to do the job. thanks!! TFC On Sat, Apr 11, 2009 at 8:22 PM,

Re: portmaster argument question

amule eats up my swap!!

Hi all, I guess this is a rare issue, but "I think" my amule, when no upload limit, eats up my swap, and cause amule to crash. After I set limit to 10K, the mule runs fine. I have 1G ram and 2G swap, and without upload limit, amule crash very often. does anyone know what is going on?? thank you!
