HFS vs HFS+
Authored by: saint.duo on Mar 21, '03 11:49:04AM

I think this affects not only scsi hard drives, but any drive connected to a machine running Mac OS X. I have a firewire drive that was formatted HFS, and share points would not let me add anything on that drive as a share point. Once I reformatted it as HFS+, the problem went away. Apparently, you cannot share items off of HFS volumes if you are running X.

HFS vs HFS+
Authored by: audiophil on Mar 26, '03 04:20:17PM

Yup, I can confirm this. Had a customer who had this problem with an
old lacie external drive. HFS formatted volumes do not share properly.
.(Also, their permissions appear different under get info, I believe that
there is a different (or no) group assigned. I have a feeling that the
operating system simply treats all HFS volumes as owned by the logged
in user, or system or something (don't have a HFS volume here to look
at). . . .thus no sharing.

oh. . . .a HFS+ volume with incorrect permissions will also appear to do
the same thing.
