As has already been stated, the problem is that checkbox. It is checked by default on newly formatted HFS+ drives. Uncheck and the problem is solved. UFS has some advantages, including disk I/O that doesn't suck and the fact that it doesn't wear specific sectors of the drive like HFS does, but in most cases HFS+ is the one to use.

Please rename this hint - the filesystem has nothing to do with this question.
