This part doesn't surprise me. I *think* that Finder happens to use the

there is no file system file ID number on a UFS-formatted disk.
Sorry, but this irritates me to no end! Just how many of us are using Mac
OS X on UFS volumes? My guess would be a mere handful out of every Mac user
on the planet. I personally know about 350 or so people who use Mac OS in
both professional and home environments, and not ONE is using UFS!
I am. Absolutely positively guaran-freakin-tees that OS 9 won't
start up, for one thing.
Yet we have to be careful because that one person in wherever might be using
UFS. And gosh, we wouldn't want them to feel bad because the rest of us
have it a little better than them! Great solution...let's just get rid of
these nasty file ID's so we don't hurt the poor handful of hurt UFS users
feelings.
A better solution would have been to use the i-node number for a UFS disk.
