hesson11 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I don't know how many other ignoramuses there may be around here, but if anyone has the patience to do a brief "...for Dummies" version of this post, I for one, would appreciate it. What are the implications, etc.? THANKS. -Bob Link to comment
kennyb123 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 How much fun do you think this will give the developers of our favorite audio softwares? It shouldn't impact them at all. The OS will offer an abstraction from this. Just like today where the audio software could care less whether the file is on HFS+, FAT, NTFS or ext4.

orgel Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Here is an informative read: Digging into the dev documentation for APFS, Apple's new file system | Ars Technica Thanks for the link. One thing I noticed when glancing at the initial Apple doc is that APFS volumes will not be able to be shared via AFP, just SMB. So that pretty much marks the end of AFP. --David Listening Room: Mac mini (Roon Core) > iMac (HQP) > exaSound PlayPoint (as NAA) > exaSound e32 > W4S STP-SE > Benchmark AHB2 > Wilson Sophia Series 2 (Details) Office: Mac Pro > AudioQuest DragonFly Red > JBL LSR305 Mobile: iPhone 6S > AudioQuest DragonFly Black > JH Audio JH5 Link to comment
wgscott Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 With their previous update that slows down SMB by about a factor of 10, this, like every other post-Jobs Apple decision, makes perfect sense. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 I have beed reading up on APFS too, I don't think it sounds like it is anywhere near ready for primetime. It can not be used as a start up disk, it is not compatible with Time Machine, etc... No electron left behind. Link to comment
occamsrazor Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I have beed reading up on APFS too, I don't think it sounds like it is anywhere near ready for primetime. It can not be used as a start up disk, it is not compatible with Time Machine, etc... I don't think anyone's saying it is ready.. That's why it's being released only as a developer preview and not rolled out until 2017. When it is rolled it will almost certainly be bootable, and you won't need Time Machine as it exists now because the file system itself has built-in snapshotting. That said, I'm disappointed to see no mention of checksumming to preserve and self-heal file integrity like you have with ZFS.

wgscott Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 They got to this point with zfs a few years ago and then dropped the ball completely. I assume APFS has the attributes (pun intended) needed. Link to comment
