Except as noted below, the Mac OS X 10.2 classic environment can now use any local or network volume format available to Mac OS X-native applications.
Local VolumesInternal and external volumes, both removable and non-removable (fixed) volumes not on the network
- Mac OS Standard
Also called Hierarchical File System or HFS - Mac OS Extended
Also called HFS Plus - UNIX File System
Also called UFS, (Note 2) - Universal Disk Format
UDF, used by DVD discs (DVD-ROM, DVD-Video) - ISO-9660
A cross-platform CD-ROM format - Audio CDs
- Microsoft MS-DOS
or File Allocation Table (FAT) - Other CD formats
See Notes 1 and 4.
Network VolumesAlso called remote disks

- Distributed Authoring and Versioning
Also DAV or WebDAV - Server Message Block
or SMB (Note 2) - File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Notes
1. Photo CDs and some multisession CDs cannot be used by Classic applications. As a workaround, copy the files to the hard disk. For Kodak Photo CDs, see technical document 42579 "Mac OS X: Kodak Photo CD Capabilities".
2. Although Classic works with this volume format, Mac OS 9 can only do so with the addition of third-party software (SMB, DAV, NFS, UFS).
3. While Classic can read data from the volumes listed above, the System Folder used to run Classic has to be on a Mac OS Standard Format (HFS) or Mac OS Extended format (HFS Plus) volume.
4. Any volume format that the Mac OS X Finder can read should be available to Classic. If it is not, you can copy the desired files off of the volume onto the startup disk or other volume whose format is available to Classic.
