APFS is apple's new filesystem and replacement for HFS+, and it's loving awesome :hellyeah:

some of the features it includes:

- write coalescing with copy-on-write
- snapshotting/cloning
- full disk encryption (AES-XTS and AES-CBC) with multiple modes of operation
- space sharing
- asynchronous TRIM
- fast directory sizing

we all know HFS+ is Dog poo poo Garbage, and it's pretty sick that there's finally a viable replacement. currently it's only a developer preview and lacks a lot of functionality that will probably be a dealbreaker for most users (time machine, filevault, etc), and it can't be used as a startup disk yet, but you can still try it on other disks and play around with it

also, filesystem chat?

in the docs, every time cow is mentioned but once it goes out of the way to qualify it with 'cow metadata', and the other spot is for the file/dir clone feature. it makes me think it's not cow all the time like zfs or bttrfs, just when you use the clone thing and the metadata.

HFS+ can be formatted in case sensitive mode. everything is hilariously broken if you try to use it for anything non-unixy.

this has to be a beta limitation, no way in hell they can ship a case sensitive FS now. I'm not sure why you would even want to.

metadata is always cow. data is when it's needed, like when there's a snapshot retaining a copy of the original. also unlike zfs the snapshots seem to be read only, there is only one writable version.

seems good enough for a file system for phones and laptops.

excuse me, the concept of "case" does not apply to sequences of arbitrary bytes in which everything is valid except 0x00 and 0x2F

Breaking aggressively incorrect software is a virtue. It's not like apps that need to like Spotlight/Finder or even NSFileManager can't just transparently provide the case-insensitivity for user convenience.
