I need a case-sensitive file system on a Mac Mini for backing up a
Unix box. I failed to notice, when buying my Mini, that Leopard
defaults to a case-insensitive file system. I gather from googling
that Apple does not recommend running Leopard itself on a
case-sensitive file system, so I assume I need to use a file-based
file system of some sort, meaning an image file. There seem to be a
number of choices there thogh, and I confess I feel rather lost among
them. Reference man pages for hdik(8), hdid(8), and hdiutil(1),
though these are really programs, not formats. hdik(8) lists a few
possible formats, such as UDIF images and sparse images.
What I'd really like is a file that mounts like a disk image but only
consumes as much real file space as necessary for its contents. The
image needs to handle case-sensitive file names, full Unix permissions
(maybe excluding ACLs because I don't use those so far), and possibly
flags (see chflags(1)), though I don't know if I really need the last
of these.
Any information much appreciated, including whether I'm so off topic
as to look like I'm trying to buy a hamburger at a hotdog stand.
<grin>
