Hi, Sorry for the delay. I made an image using Disk Copy under OS 9. The image seems to contain a desktop database by default. Is there any means of creating images without a DTDB using DiskCopy so that I can compare ? Thanks!

Free Space galore

Hi, It's been a while since there's been any traffic on this list so I guess I have the honour of posting the first mail of 2005. My question is not an HFSx one per se, however, it's it in the ballpark: Since OS X.3 came along, the partition map is now being populated by default with a number of Apple_Free partition entries interspersing the user's specified partitions. I'm curious whether anyone knows the rationale behind this. I have my theories but I'm probing for a more definitive response, if one exists. Also, if a better venue exists for general Mac-formatted device questions exists, perhaps someone from the list can share that information. Thanks, Gord Beatty
