Don’t forget console being spammed with hundreds of “Month 13” messages a second!

  Thanks for the heads up. I wonder what will happen first, Apple releases a fix or the logs fill up my disk?
- fbelzile 9y ago
  That's what that was! I was up late last night trying to debug my app because of this.

    Yup something to do with mdworker IIRC.

They also released 10.13.1, which undid the patch for the root login issue.

  10.13.1 was released more than a month ago.

  That's basically this point > - macOS High Sierra fix not installing correctly on some system But 10.13.1 has been out for a while, the root issue only resurfaces if you upgrade from 10.13 -> 10.13.1 after the patch is automatically installed.

    Oops, my bad then, I misinterpreted the news yesterday about that. Do they at least prompt you to reapply the patch after updating?

The transition to APFS also went flawlessly, above and beyond anyone's expectations.

  Apparently, apple won't implement apfs for people on spinning rust so I can't get it on an iMac which made upgrading to high sierra easier. How did it go for people on macbooks?

    Nor for RAID drives, whatever the substrate... except that by virtue of my participation in the beta programme, my Mac's RAID-0 array was converted before they decided to change track, and now after I wiped my system to restart anew I have literally no way of getting my system back to the initial state it was in.

    You can convert those disks, they don’t do it automatically though. Diskutility has a convert option.

      That's a dumb idea, the file system is designed for flash memory, not spinning disks.
