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.

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.

FS-level case insensitivity as implemented is bigotry.

rear end.jpg and aß.jpg should be the same
and olé.txt and OLÉ.txt
and πooп.png and ΠooП.png
and カカ.gif and かか.gif

It doesn't make sense at all because userland can handle it.

apparently lots of nerds are angry about case sensitivity. both Mac OS and windows have been running on case insensitive file systems since the 80s and users don't seem to have problems with it. obviously when Linux finally conquers the desktop it will show them what they've been missing all these years

NTFS is case-sensitive and provides insensitivity at a higher level like normal.

please point out where i said ntfs is worse than hfs

also lol ntfs is garbage, zfs > *

In the context of FSs used by Apple Shaggar is absolutely correct and even you could absolutely do much worse than NTFS, which has been very successful in terms of the sheer number of deployments. And everyone knows zfs is far too encumbered. And wow, I'm shocked that an FS made decades later would be more technically advanced.
