Hello.

Is there a way to mount an APFS partition in FreeBSD (I'm using 13.1-RELEASE) in read and write mode ? I've tried the following,without success :

pkg install devel/libfsapfs

root@marietto:/home/marietto # gpart show

34         976773101   ada1     GPT         (466G)
34                 6            - free -    (3.0K)

976773128          7            - free -    (3.5K)

root@marietto:/home/marietto # fsapfsmount -f 1 /dev/ada1p2 /mnt/ada1p2

I don't know which version of APFS is used by my Monterey installation. Anyway,if it is read only,I'm not interested. Point here is that I use MacOS rarely,so,I wanted to use the space not occupied by MacOS to store data and informations related to the other operating systems that I use (linux,Freebsd,windows) otherwise it's a wasted space. For sure I don't want to reboot my PC to copy there my data ! No,I can't do it using a macos vm created with bhyve,because bhyve does not support macos. And no,I can't do it using a VirtualBOX vm,because I can't use Virtualbox and bhyve at the same time.

This looks more like an issue with reading from a block device on FreeBSD, likely determining the device size.
