The ever brilliant Mark McMillan (of APFS) has launched a website that should be catnip to TV presentation fans. 182 reconstructed TV clocks!!!

Apple has a huge problem with APFS.

This disk bench shows that APFS is 20x slower than in a VIRTUAL MACHINE with ext4.

TWENTY times slower.

This is unacceptable.

MAC USERS:
Always format your drives as APFS, even spinny mechanical drives, not just SSDs. They will be significantly more responsive when opening large and very large folders.

Apple updates macOS 28 guidance with direct encrypted HFS+ to APFS conversion
Apple updates macOS 28 guidance with direct encrypted HFS+ to APFS conversion
Users who rely on encrypted HFS+ drives will no longer need to decrypt them before converting them to APFS for macOS 28 compatibility. Here’s what that means.

I had to throttle my CPU down to 550MHz to make ext4 as slow as Apple's APFS

this is an ~10x (x 12 cores) speed *reduction* to match APFS "performance".

On macOS: if you need to `cp -a` a large directory, use `cp -ac`. The `-c` takes advantage of APFS copy-on-write, so no contents are actually copied until you edit the file. Much faster.

Do insiders have time to get in on this?😈

Folks need to get themselves and everyone else they know out to the midterms.

By default, MacOS formats with a case insensitive APFS file system.

APFS can store resource forks.

apfs supports snapshots right? could it theoretically make a snapshot of the current root fs, pivot root to the snapshot, then install the update to the real root, then reboot from that as usual? i know literally nothing about darwin or apfs so theres probably something that wont work here lmao

The Pitt but it was the secretive rollout of APFS
March 2, 2026 at 4:36 AM
im guessing its like this just because of limitations of apfs or whatever
