I just checked and the mkfs tools for ext4 and xfs don't have a long --version. In fact they don't use -v, they use -V heh. I think it's better...

Sure, I know that plenty of other tools have `--version`. I just meant that it's not universal, so it's not a problem if it's missing.

That's interesting. I've never encountered "dataless snapshots" (no idea what they are), but the official documentation says that you are not supposed to mount them even on read-only mode from...

Read-only won't alter anything, the only risk is that some things might not be read correctly. > I have occasionally manually freed up disk space using tmutil thinlocalsnapshots That could...

I guess the flag gets set when the first dataless snapshot is created, and then it just never gets unset.

I still haven't figured out how to create dataless snapshots on macos. It's easy to use my driver to make snapshots that macos identifies as "dataless", but I'm not sure...

I just pushed a patch to allow read-only mounts for volumes like this. I'm leaving this issue open until I can figure out how these snapshots work.

Are you having problems with one of these dataless things? I have no idea what this is about, but read-only mounts should be working, and maybe writes can be enabled...

I found this old commit from the original repo: https://github.com/linux-apfs/linux-apfs/commit/885a04c6afef6c1406c374a742045308106d9964 I guess you also need to select `NLS`.
