Dear all,
I read the HOWTO document in darwinfo.org.
It said that Darwin kernel should be built in a UFS partition due to
case
sensitity issue.
I'd like to know if there's any problem building Darwin in HFS+
partition.
That HowTo may be out of date, since the darwin (xnu) kernel has been
buildable on HFS+ volumes since forever. It could be referring to
problems with other projects that may be needed to build the kernel, but
at least, when running Mac OS X, I've not seen any issues.
if I must build the kernel in UFS partition, is there any ways to
convert my
extra HFS+ partition to UFS? (i've got an extra partition in HFS+
format)
You don't need to worry about it for kernel builds. The only way to
convert the partition is to wipe it out and recreate it as a UFS
partion. On Mac OS X, use Disk Utility (select the Erase tab); I'm not
sure of the tool to use in the case of a pure Darwin system.
Regards,
Justin
