It failed for a VERY IMPORTANT reason - Classic Applications can not 
access UFS formatted media so the drives MUST be left as HFS+ in 
MacOS X. MacOS X is perfectly happy to run off of and use UFS 
formatted media so long as all applications are MacOS X and neither 
Classic Mode nor MacOS 9 Systems need to access the volume.
