I'd like to know if there's any problem building Darwin in HFS+ partition. I've built kernels up to xnu-222 on HFS+ partitions without problems. As Brian said, the Darwin kernel builds fine in HFS+. But parts of the rest of Darwin do not. If the HOWTO says the kernel needs UFS, it is wrong. If is simply said "Darwin," then it is correct. 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) Not without re-formatting. If you have Mac OS X, you could use the "Disk Copy" utility to create a UFS disk image as a single file within your HFS+ volume, and then mount that for doing your builds within. You could get more efficient with a reformat, but this is pretty easy. --Jim _______________________________________________ darwin-kernel mailing list | darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/darwin-kernel Do not post admin requests to the list.
