I feel your pain. Currently the only "recommended" way I know of to do this is the painful way: backing up & reformatting & restoring.
I once wrote an on-disk format modification utility (not for APFS, unfortunately). It would seem to me a relatively straightforward process to convert APFS from case-sensitive to insensitive, in place and in real time, without the need for backups, etc., since only file index metadata need be modified. However, no such tool currently exists for APFS. Perhaps submit a feature request for Disk Utility into Apple. There should be no reason for them to turn down such a feasible request. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8590512 <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8590512> https://itectec.com/askdifferent/change-apfs-volume-to-case-sensitive/ <https://itectec.com/askdifferent/change-apfs-volume-to-case-sensitive/> -Carl > On Dec 22, 2021, at 2:17 AM, Jean-Christophe Helary > <[email protected]> wrote: > > For some reason, I had to format an SSD as APFS/case sensitive (only the > "Data" part it seems) and since it did not occur to me that Adobe was still > in the 20th century I'm stuck without my Adobe apps... > > I'm on BigSur and looking for a way to fix that without having to > backup/reformat the disk/reinstall everything. > > Is there a way ? > > -- > Jean-Christophe Helary @brandelune > https://mac4translators.blogspot.com > https://sr.ht/~brandelune/omegat-as-a-book/ > > _______________________________________________ > MacOSX-talk mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
