full bootdisk? time capsule internal? problems with cs?

Post by Redfox » Sat Sep 22, 2012 7:19 pm

Is using a zfs hdd/ssd as bootdisk possible due to an modified install image?
Is it possible to also make the internal storage of the time capsule zfs?
are there other known problems with case sensitive file systems than itunes?

1. booting from a ZFS formatted disk is not possible on mac, and may never be possible. although it's something i'd love to see one day.
2. probably not. i'm not sure you can access the time capsule at such a low level to format is as ZFS, but as I don't have one, i can't say for sure.
3. not sure. but you can create a CASE-INSENSITIVE zpool by adding "-O casesensitivity=insensitive" to the zpool create command. for example…

sudo zpool create -O casesensitivity=insensitive NAMEOFPOOL /dev/disk1 /dev/disk2

Just be sure to follow the correct procedure for finding out your appropriate dev/disk numbers. Yours will almost certainly be different.

Apple Time Capsule and ZFS

I have no idea whether it's possible.

If it is possible, I doubt that Apple's license agreement will allow installation, to a Time Capsule, of additional software (or alternative firmware) that may be required to both:

  1. mount a ZFS volume; and
  2. perform that mount in a way that suits Apple's Time Machine Network Interface Specification (TMNIS) – keyword AFP.

I think it'll be good to have a single topic for booting. Related:

Adobe software only works with case-insensitive file systems.
