APFS parity

[brettwooldridge]

It seems that sgan81/apfs-fuse supports both encryption (full disk) and compression (except LZFSE). Any plans to port these over?

Hi. I don't check github often, you'll get faster replies if you send me an email.

I don't own any Apple devices, so testing new features is a bit tricky. The plan is to achieve write support as soon as possible so that I can run the whole test cycle on linux. Now that my fsck tool is working I think I could have a first draft in a month or two.

Once that's in place I'll look into compression and encryption, but not as read-only.

If you still don't own any Apple devices, would having access to VM running MacOS (on apple hardware) be suitable for you?

if you have apple hardware, then just create a basic MacOS install on an SD card or flash drive, that's what I do

Thank you for the offer! Luckily, I just got a job at a company that runs iphone VMs, so I think I'll be able to work with those. The project has been stuck for a while, but development will resume soon.

Congratz! Hope you do well.
