iPartition - Resize disk partitions without formatting
Authored by: _merlin on Dec 02, '04 07:02:13AM

It was HFS until MacOS 8.1 introduced HFS+. We've had HFS as long as we've had 800k floppies. Only 400k floppies used the older MFS (which had no folder hierarchy). HFS didn't inherently support non-destructive partitioning. The issues are largely the same now as they were then. The main differences are that you now need to support ATA disks (back then it was all SCSI) and the new structure of HFS+.
