I was assigned an Apple rMBP in 2012 and ended up installing Linux on it precisely because you couldn't trust the file system. In my case, I had a directory with a specific name in lower-case, and without realizing it, created a file with the same name in Pascal case which then wiped out my directory full of content. Back-ups are important but they shouldn't be required simply to rectify stupid OS decisions.
- Fnoord 6y agoYou can and could set up HFS+ case sensitive and case insensitive. Obviously, I recommend the former, and I also believe that is the default.
- pseudalopex 6y agoCase insensitive is the default.
- tinus_hn 6y agoObviously the filesystem does not delete a directory if you create a file with the same name. Either you did this yourself or some really dumb application did.
