Does anyone her have any problems or suggestions for running Mac OS 10.2.6 on a UFS formatted drive? I am about to reformat my computer and want to use UFS instead.

Save yourself ALOT of grief and dont'.

If you know *why* you need UFS you would not be asking.

Stick with HFS+ (baring a new filesystem come monday)

I wanted to try UFS for two reasons. One, for its supposedly wonderful ability to prevent disk fragmenting. And 2 is that I am gonna be installing YDL 3 and want them to play as nice as possible.

Thanks for your advice though. I was playing around with UFS on a secondary drive and couldnt get it to boot after everything installed. You saved me a lot of grief.

good deal. partitioning a section into Linux Native should be a better solution for you. Good luck w/ Yellow Dog!
