Great Video! I am finally learning about APFS! And I'm enjoying it from vids like this. Thank you very much. I'd been holding onto the old file system for my external drives out of habit. I decided to change it up a few days ago. And am swapping and moving between 8 drives total, into 4 drives, and all 4 will be APFS. I'd misunderstood some fundamentals about APFS. For instance, I'd mistakenly thought that since Timemachine wants the whole volume to itself, I thought that meant the whole drive. I'd totally missed the dynamic resizing. I got this before this video, but this video drove it home, and will also help communicate the possibilities to friends and family. I'll share and I subscribed! Thanks, -Josh

Fantastic video and explanation !! You must a great teacher !! I decided instead of spending tons of money to on a new MacBook, to upgrade my 2011 MacBook Air .. so I got a 500gig SSD Samsung Drive with an adapter to fit it, formatted it in APFS and installed Mojave using an installer hack. The problem is you have to disable SIP system integrity for that to work .. are there any dangers of doing so !? The MacBook Air by the way runs blazing now and does not hang or slow down !! Really worth the upgrade !!

Thank you

APFS was developed by the same guy who wrote the file system for BeOS. The Be OS had a GREAT filesystem. I owned a Be Box back in the day. As APFS matures it will make a big impact on the user experience. For example the new iMac Pros come standard with dual m.2 flash modules as boot drives in a RAID 0? They wouldn’t have done that with HFS. Modern file systems like ZFS and now APFS are very RAID friendly. It’s basically no different than using a DIMM pair for RAM.

I love how much thought you put into simplifying the explanations. This is exactly what the tech world needs, especially to explain stuff visually with real world reference. This way everybody understands. And if they don't know who House is, they don't need explanations at all. :D But, I've one question - since I've refused to read any of the written stuff (it's almost 4 AM): What if I wanna completely shred a file that sits on an HDD formatted with APFS? Since all the new technologies that come with APFS to make sure that a file doesn't just vanish, from my understanding, it should perform exactly the same way - if not better and more secure - because the "original" file itself lays within the same blocks as the snapshot, right? So, since there are no extra blocks used for snapshots (if the file isn't really copied via Time Machine f.e.) the file should be overwritten like on HFS+ (or NTFS for example) without having to overwrite snapshots as well, right?

@ComputerClan

6 жыл бұрын

For completely shredding a file, there's a couple ways to look at it. For starters, if you never turn on local snapshots (like me, I don't like them on) then those files will never be backed up in a filesystem snapshot. So when you delete them, the references to the data are gone and the blocks are reclaimed (you gain back space). However, the bits still remain on the disk until free space runs out and the disk needs to make room for more files. In older versions of macOS, you could perform a Secure Empty Trash, which writes 0's over the data, making the files unrecoverable and completely erased (this is called a zero out). This feature was removed recently, but can still be accessed via Terminal utilities. Does that help with your question? And on a side note, thanks for the awesome comment! I agree, the tech world needs better visual explanations on how intricate processes work. I figured if not many other people would do it, I would. : )

@LexCalifornia

Hey, thanks for your answer. Yeah, the snapshot problem is exactly the reason why I don't use them as well, at least on my own machines. Company wise it's a bit different because company policy is to use them which, when it comes to really safely delete (shred) crucial files, things get complicated. Gosh, I remember those times when you could "safely" delete right from Finder. I still have an Powermac G4 who runs Panther which can do it. But at least up from, I think, 10.7 Apple removed that. Even tho, just scrubbing files with 0's isn't the most save thing to do, yet it's way better than nothing. Company wise we're (finally, someone there listened) using DoD standard to delete, yet still, snapshots. Ugh, right? Right, I've recently read up on safely deletion via terminal. Still, why remove something that works? Could be because scrubbing SSDs is way more difficult (which is something someone should also make a video on - *hint* :D ) Every time we have to rely on 3rd party software I cringe. Stuff like this should be implemented in operating systems. The most bad thing security wise was the "revert to recent version" thing in Windows 10. So, to come back to your question if that helps, it kinda does. My summary would be that - under APFS - shredding files through some standard and then, shredding free space - at least on a normal hdd - should be much safer than before, right? And again, great work on the explanation! (I still want that House picture as background lol.) :)

Very nice explanation. I do have a question. If you clone a file and APFS uses the original file as the same data for the clone, what happens if the file/data is damaged. Don't both end up damaged? Many times you make a duplicate in case something happens to the original data.

That's my question too.

Why does Apple use bundle folders (photo library) instead of organised folders like eg picassa- which organised files according to time date year etc??

I'm using it and I did gain some free GB space

Very similar to ZFS. Containers are ZFS pools. Volumes are datasets. ZFS supports COW, cloning, snapshots, and encryption.

this was the reason why you can use comand x to cut text but not on files now they can, hope apple enables this, thank's so much to apple for this good decision, I've lost tons of files by canceling copies or power failure or just renaming drives or fusioning folders and so on, even just transfering long packs of data... we really nedded this long time ago.

Hello Ken, Thanks for this video, it's really clear and great points. You mentioned that HFS+ can be converted to APFS using disk utility, indicating that disk utility does have some functionality with APFS. Do you know if it is also possible to 'Restore' one APFS volume to another APFS volume using disk utility? Ie. booting in recovery mode and restoring a working build from the external drive over the internal drive in your machine. This is essential to our workflow in a pro recording studio, keeping several machines fresh and identical clones of one another. Apple are avoiding the question but it seems the restore functionality may now be obsolete within disk utility and nothing has been provided by Apple to replace it. Time machine isn't too helpful in this case. I wonder if you have any knowledge or thoughts on this?

They basically told me that RAID 0 was not supported on High Sierra and by extension on APFS. Why was I able to clearly and easily set RAID up on the disk utility? Why do you and Apple say the RAID IS supported? Was there something wrong with my setup?

So can someone use volumes to store or download files/apps to keep the pc safe from viruses?

maybe you should explain some other popular file systems since this one was so interesting like...NTFS or FAT32 (which is kinda similar to fat 16 and fat, donno about exfat tho) or maybe some universal file systems not limited to FAT

The atomic safe save is a great leap forward. I suffered data lost when the app crashed when it was saving, and only a 0 byte file was left and no data can be recovered by any means, it was very frustrating. I hope the atomic safe save can fix it.

@ComputerClan

6 жыл бұрын

The new Atomic Safe-Save primitives will definitely fix that! The reason why the file showed up as 0 bytes is because during the save, your document had to be moved to an unindexed temporary location (either on the disk or in the RAM, I'm not entirely sure) but it's totally unsafe. With APFS, it never leaves any indexed spot of the disk, so it's always there for you. : )

It kinda reminds me of the newer file systems in the linux world. BRTFS, ZFS and so on. There are allot of improvements there that Apple has taken over. Which is good, better performance and keeping data more secure. There is little wrong with the older systems of course. Just that nowadays allot of things can be improved upon. And yes those also have things like Copy On Write, Cloning, Block Redistribution etc. Of course if you are just a basic simple user on linux you wouldn't notice much of a difference. But if you are the IT guy that has to keep the systems safe and running. Or even more interresting, big data, huge storage system where any gain in performance can have huge effects. So again, APFS, will give a slight performance in normal day tasks for many, but quite bigger once you run heavier tasks.

Hello, while APFS sounds good, after the upgrade, I found that I was unable to access and mount APFS volumes on an older Mac (a Power Mac G4 running OS 10.4 specifically) over AFP. Do you know of any workarounds are available or if Apple might release an update to address this issue with file sharing? Thanks. :)

+Ben H. AFP has been deprecated in favor of SMB. There might be a hack, but I’m not aware of one at the moment. : )

Ok, thank you. I just really liked the way AFP worked so smoothly, but I guess I will try to get SMB to work. :)

Hi. Is AFPS compatible with the late 2015 5K iMac (Fusion Drive). Thanks.

APFS will be compatible with Fusion Drives in a future High Sierra update. My guess is 10.13.1.

No just because my Time Machine drive is a mechanical disk.
