- High Sierra and ISO 9660 are, as noted, similar. "Rock Ridge" refers to
- some stuff added to the ISO standard in order to support more capable
- file systems; I believe there is both a general extension mechanism, and
- a set of UNIX extensions using that mechanism. There may be extensions
- for other OSes as well (Mac System, NT); they may also share some
- extensions (e.g., less unpleasantly restrictive file name conventions)
- with UNIX.
-
- 4.1.1 doesn't have Rock Ridge support in its "hsfs" implementation,
- although "hsfs" supports both High Sierra and 9660. 4.1.2's "hsfs"
- includes the UNIX extensions, at least....
