In my case, I have a 30G drive that I +partitioned 4G for Classic/OS9, 4G for pkgsrc, and the rest for OS +X. Now, you can unmount the pkgsrc partition, but even if you +newfs it, the partition map will show the partition as Apple_HFS +and not Apple_UFS as automounter needs it to say. The result of +that newfs would be that the partition wouldn't be automounted, +and if you manually mount it, it won't appear in Finder. + +You'll need to boot off of the OS X Installation (User) CD. When +the Installtion program starts, go up to the menu and select Disk +Utility. Now, you will be able to select the partition you want +to be UFS, and Format it Apple UFS. + +Once you've done that, you Quit the Disk Utility and Quit the +Installer... which will reboot your computer. Now the new UFS +partition will show up, but the permissions will be set to root, +so you won't be able to write to it. You'll have to chown the +mount point to you (/Volumes/whatever). + +This note is as of 10.2 (Jaguar) and applies to earlier versions. +[Hopefully Apple will fix Disk Utility in 10.3 (Panther)]. -- cgit v1.2.3
