So what features does the new filesystem bring?
- masklinn 10y agoIIRC there's COW blocks (crash protection), metadata checksumming, shared storage pools (a container can span multiple physical storage devices), snapshots, built-in encryptions, sparse files, I/O QoS and access patterns more suitable for solid-state, 64b across the board (64b inodes, 64b nanosecond-precision timestamps, …), better multithreading/multiprocessing behaviour. If you ask what innovations APFS brings to the overall FS landscape, the answer is probably "none".
