Aside from:
- silly mixed-case directories with spaces
- case-insensitive filenames
what negative aspects of the filesystem would affect an 'intermediate' user (e.g. a high-level hacker) on a day-to-day basis? Admittedly, those two are very frustrating, but I'm struggling to think of any others.
- gnaffle 12y agoIf you Mac loses power and doesn't get to do a normal shutdown, you're eventually going to get file system errors that you can only fix by booting from a recovery disk. I've had this happen numerous times due to a broken battery on my laptop. If you've never ever run a disk repair on your Mac, do one and you might be surprised. You should expect more from a filesystem in 2014.
- Shivetya 12y agohow about locking my entire system when it wakes externally connected USB drives, namely my time machine. Oddly it seems to occur while I surf. That and permissions seem to get screwy at times. I had a long running issue where I could not launch JAR files, found others with similar issues and finally figured out, I no longer had permission to my own user folder and the JAR I was launching needed to create a working directory. Ended up solving the problem for more than myself. I still try to figure out the desire for case sensitivity in about anything
- archagon 12y agoMan, I sure hope Apple's next FS keeps both of those features. I think most ordinary users find them very valuable.
