No snapshotting yet, can't boot, no migration tools for existing setups (time machine, filevault, fusion). It'd be interesting to see whether their permission changes introduced in 10.11 will travel further down the fs. Also, I don't see any mention of compression like lz4. Lots of work until release in 2017!

- MBCook 10y agoIs compression really that big a deal any more?
- entee 10y agoI heard there was this Pied Piper startup, it's making big waves in compression technology ;)
- STRML 10y agoWhile they're still shipping machines with < 1TB SSDs (read: for a long time), yes - why not take the relatively free space and I/O savings?
- bluegreyred 10y agoBecause you can upsell a larger iCloud subscription to your customers using the new built in automatic cloud archival function. Then use compression server-side. $$$
- brigade 10y agoOn the other hand, people (sample size: my family and friends) tend to fill up their drives with already-compressed video and photos, which lz4 and similar cannot really compress further.
- feld 10y agoYes, it can make I/O faster
- nisa 10y agolz4 really helps with anything that is compressible - if you store text or compressible data it can improve throughput up to 2-3x if not even more if it's not compressible it stops compressing early. On a modern CPU core compression/decompression throughput is in the range of multiple gigabytes/seconds.
