Which OS?

Is the hang
before or
after appearance of loginwindow?
Boot the machine without a hang then consider:
- with Console, the lines between bootlog and loginwindow
- without Console, other early things that might require /Applications
Here for example I have:
- Code: Select all
2012-10-24 18:00:03.000 bootlog[0]: BOOT_TIME 1351098003 0
2012-10-24 18:00:09.000 kernel[0]: Darwin Kernel Version 12.2.0: Sat Aug 25 00:48:52 PDT 2012; root:xnu-2050.18.24~1/RELEASE_X86_64
- Code: Select all
2012-10-24 18:00:09.000 kernel[0]: 3878 Little Snitch: start
– etc.,
logged before start of launchd (and when I
observe lines such as those during verbose boot, the actual timing seems different).
I imagine that the Little Snitch KEXT alone can't do its job without the app …
imagine that the KEXT might be:
- designed to fail gracefully if the app is not present
- not designed for use cases where the content of /Applications is not present.
So. If not Little Snitch, what's in your use case?

More generally: I like experimentation, but I wouldn't give /Applications to ZFS … mainly because I like reinstallation of the OS to be as simple as possible. YMMV.
