OSX case sensitivity "reporting" issue when using mimic_hfs
Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2017 6:10 am
O3X 1.6.1 on macOS Sierra 10.12.6 on Mac Pro (2013)
zpool create with -O casesensitivity=insensitive
zfs get shows dataset with casesensitivity set to insensitive
OS "Get Info" shows Format: ZFS Dataset
If I then do
zfs set com.apple.mimic_hfs=on datasetname
OS "Get Info" shows Format: Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive)
Something in the OS is ignoring casesensitivity=insensitive when com.apple.mimic_hfs=on
Note that I mark this as a "reporting" issue, because creation of a second folder/file with the same name in different case successfully fails. (ie. Create "Test":works, then Create "test":fails = success! for dataset with casesensitivity=insensitive)
