<opinion type="personal"> HFS, as best as I can tell, is still needed for your "root" filesystem. If you're not really using UNIX, then you don't need anything else, so in that case, I'd use HFS. But enabling zFS is very simple and costs very little. So, if it were me, I'd make all my non-root filesystems zFS. It is more reliable than HFS. All new facilities will be added to zFS. And you'll be kewl! </opinion> -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
