Thanks Boris and Jake. Is this 7.0 current we're talking about, or 8.0? I'm still pretty new to FreeBSD and trying to sort the nomenclature: release, current, stable... along with each of those I believe is also a version (7.0, 7.1, 8.0, etc.). Just looking to know what I should run to have a compatible version of the filesystem. I do not want bleeding edge, so 8.0 is out... I wouldn't mind something like 7.1 stable, though. Would that be possible? Thanks, John On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 6:19 PM, Jake Scott <jake@poptart.org> wrote: > MacOS has a later version of the file system.
