That's one thing I was surprised about when using searchfs() on APFS vs. HFS+: On HFS, I'd frequently get the specific return code telling me that the btree has changed, meaning I should restart the search to make sure I don't miss nodes. However, I never see this with APFS. I did then assume, err, hope, that searchfs on APFS holds a temporary snapshot, thereby preventing changes to the searched tree. Are you saying that this is not the case, and even, that searchfs on APFS doesn't tell me about changed node order when it should? Thomas
