10.3 Server, Admin Tools, UFS

Do the Admin tools for 10.3 Server work on a UFS volume or not?

I saw this article for 10.0.3 and would like to know if it was just a one off, or if this is still the case? I've seen no later documentation concurring this, so i assume that the Admin Tools do work with a UFS System drive by now.

Many thanks-

Admin Tools do not work on a UFS volume (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=31360

I wouldn't assume so. UFS is definitely a secondary file system (ie, not for boot volume) in MacOS X.

With the changes to capitalization adherence in HFS+ with 10.3, I can't think of a good reason for most people to move to UFS. What's your reasoning?

I want case sensitivity without forcing it thorugh HFS +. I will not be running any programs on the Server other than using the Admin/ Workgroup Tools to serve User accounts with home directories to 5 workstations. I understand the perils of UFS on an everyday client computer, but this is a xServe and serving is all it will be doing.
