apfs

I did a clean install of 10.13 on a MacbookPro 11,5 and I have the following disk structure: > diskutil list /dev/disk0 (internal, physical): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *500.3 GB...

Hi, I want to clean install High Sierra. The last time I did it, i formatted to APFS and enabled FV after OS installation. Remaning time for encryption was 14 hours vs 20 minutes on Sierra! This time, if I just format to APFS encrypted during clean install, FV will be enabled from the start...

So I'm looking at finally getting around to upgrading to High Sierra, which will mean converting my SSD partitions to APFS. Currently I have two partitions, one for macOS, applications and an administrator account, and another for all other user accounts, both partitions are encrypted. Now, my...

Evening all, I've copied this post from an identical one I made on Apple's Support Communities here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/32660837#32660837 I'm afraid I don't frequent these forums but would appreciate any feedback or comments on the scenario I have documented below as it has...

Hi, need some help here... I have a 2012 MacBook Pro with 1Tb SSD HD. A few days ago it stopped booting. I tried everything (PRAM RESET, Recovery booting, etc) but nothing worked. I have very important information on the SSD drive... and guess what... I lost my back up... I managed to install...

Error unlocking APFS Volume: The given APFS Volume is not locked (-69589) I have an external disk that It was encrypted with File Vault, and now is unreadable, it seems it was interrupted during encryption and it is half encrypted. It doesn't mount, doesn't unmount, doesn't eject, and also...

I'm not worried about compatibility with Windows or older macOS. What I'm worried about is the fact that APFS is optimized for SSDs. So will APFS potentially make my HDDs unreliable or slower? What's your experience with APFS with traditional HDDs? Thanks!

Hello, I recently formatted all my external drives to APFS. The result was this: diskutil list /dev/disk3 (internal, physical): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *500.1 GB disk3 1...

Until High Sierra my macOS system has been super stable. But since the upgrade I am having periodic crashes were the system hangs and just freezes. Apps go into Spin, Mail usually disappears. I have to force reboot. There is no crash log to lead the way. I am stumped. I have used the release...

Super weird issue going on. Upgraded my 13" 2011 MBP with a Samsung 840 Pro SSD to High Sierra. (Automatically upgraded to APFS with TRIM enabled) Last night it wouldn't boot showing only a flashing folder/question mark. Did all of the usual stuff PRAM, Recovery Mode, repaired permissions, etc...

Hi all I've read all about the APFS encrypted volumes bug that displays your drive password as a hint, but what I haven't seen is anyway to determine if you're affected by the bug. In other words - I don't think I have a hint on my (encrypted) boot disk but can't be sure; how do I find out...

The bug where Time Machine fails to backup files that tmutil say are included, or fails to identify changed files, seems to be back in 10.13 High Sierra. The bug was introduced around 10.10, persisted through 10.11, was fixed in 10.12, and now seems to have regressed. Has anyone else done their...

“This week, Apple released the new macOS High Sierra with the new file system called APFS (Apple File System). It wasn’t long before I encountered issues with this update. Not a simple issue, but a potential vulnerability.” Give him this: at least he did report it to Apple before publishing...

Dear MacRumors community, I have a question after upgrading to macOS High Sierra on my iMac. Before the upgrade on macOS Sierra there were around 20 gigabytes marked as "deleteable" on my Macintosh HD, because I have activated the iCloud option "Optimize Storage" in the Photos app (I use the...

Got a new MBP, and upgraded to High Sierra on the first day. I formatted to APFS (Case-Sensitive + Encrypted). I wasn't sure which one to choose, so I just chose that one. I tried installing Adobe CC, but it can't be installed onto case-sensitive volumes. I'm not exactly competent in this stuff...

I have been a bleeding edge tester for a long time until I switched to Mac. I settled down a little, but when I am told "fusion drives don't support apfs" I take that as a challenge. Well.. They were right. It doesn't. My iMac 27" 2015 had a kernel panic during the conversion process, and I was...

I have two Preboot (Preboot and Preboot 1) folders in /Volumes. They are the same size. Quick googling indicated that they are APFS related. My question is: what purpose do they serve and is it safe to delete them?

I did the conversion to High Sierra last night with minimal issues and then wanted to do a backup using Carbon Copy Cloner. My backups go to an external hard drive partitioned so that it can clone the drive running the OS and 2 external drives. The backup external hard drive is partitioned and...

Following problem under High Sierra with APFS: I create a folder with these permissions: drwxrwx--- 2 root admin 64B 27 Sep 01:09 test no acl is applied. With my user account "user" logged in the Finder.app showed up the folder with a "red no entry sign" and I have no access to this...
