Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] Ufs and Mac OS X

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

Hi David,

What are the main differences between HFS and HFS+?  Is HFS supported as
a Linux root filesystem?  If not, we could just use the ROMFS filesystem
to include a root filesystem with the kernel (e.g. it would be stored in
the boot partition).  The HFS partition would then just be used to store
the application data (music & configuration).

cheers,
bern.
