Wwdc intros APfs File system beta

[Oliver Peters]

[Charlie Austin] “True. Also MS has a bunch of Patents on it. “

However, folks like BMD are using it for their SSDs on the HyperDecks.

[Charlie Austin] “Maybe Apple will follow through and open up APfs?”

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Of course, lot’s of vendors use it. But, if you read the article, it’s not exactly an open “standard”

Yeah, I know, cats dogs etc….

Exactly, in BMD devices the SSD drives are being used as flash drives.

It’s a great lean data capturing bridge format file system, it wasn’t meant for editing video.

Hey, it’ll be at least as open as all the others, which is to say, not open. 🙂 Oh, except OpenZFS right? Lets all use that! I’ll call Apple, you guys call MS. What could possibly go wrong?

If Apple does open-source or at least thoroughly document APFS, they get cross-platform compatibility without having to develop or support it themselves.

[Apple]“Volume Format Specification

A Developer Preview of Apple File System is included in OS X 10.12. The APFS on-disk volume format is pre-release and subject to change. Apple plans to document and publish the APFS volume format when Apple File System is released in 2017.

Open Source

An open source implementation is not available at this time. Apple plans to document and publish the APFS volume format when Apple File System is released in 2017.”

Whatever we do though, we should not give them the benefit of the doubt. Because they’re mean. 🙂

Yeah… I think Apple is a bit less interested in cross-platform compatibility than Microsoft though. 🙂

Well, I think all the OS vendors are interested in cross-platform compatibility, at least to the extent where by providing it they enable you to stay mainly on their platform. 😉

You’re right – now, I’m just going to boot into my OSX partition and fire up FCPX on my HP workstation… oh, wait. 😛
