I am saying that the behaviour that Todd is talking about is that standard Unix tools know nothing about turning metadata which is part of HFS into extra files that will be interpreted on other filesystems as that metadata. That is it turns one HFS file to one UFS file, which means that you lose all associated metadata that the HFS filesystem stores directly and UFS does not.

Cheers,
Ben

my point was Nix tools do not understand all file systems

so do not use where not applicable.
thanx,
