Have you looked at an APFS file system in the WWDV seed? Have you watched the WWDC presentation? Those would answer a lot of your questions. > - My guess is resource forks are being dropped.

Both getattrlist() and setattrlist() work the same. The ATTR_CMN_BKUPTIME is no longer supported (it has been considered deprecated functionality since the Carbon File Manager was deprecated). ATTR_VOL_ATTRIBUTES can be used to determine what attributes are supported on a particular file system including APFS. (Note: the ATTR_CMN_BKUPTIME is still returned set by ATTR_VOL_ATTRIBUTES in the current seed but that will be fixed). > - Will there be a way to force the filing to actually create a new copy of a > file instead of just a reference? Use copyfile(3) without either the COPYFILE_CLONE_FORCE or COPYFILE_CLONE flag. However, there are many reasons why you wouldn't want a clone. It is faster, saves disk space, and causes fewer writes (which will make SSDs last longer). > - Is file cloning ‘same-volume-only’ or if a file is copied to a different > volume, will it still be a clone? I believe a clone is always on the same filesystem. > > Mark > _______________________________________________ > Do not post admin requests to the list.
