Hi Arno,

yes it is an ufs partition that i want to share between FreeBSD
and OS X. that said we have zfs on FreeBSD and perhaps i will try
to put the data on a zfs partition and see!!!

without any polemic, i does not understand why OS X
cannot mount (at least "RDONLY" a ufs partition...
Of course it is possible to share data with:
msdos, ntfs (ntfs-3g), ext2, but ufs2 would be helpful.

I was not aware of zevo, and i will investigate this point.

Many thanks for your help.
