Hi,
Thank you for the hint. I will add this variant of case-sensitive filesystem creation to a separate guide. Except, instead of using GUI, volume will be created from command line:
$ diskutil apfs addVolume disk1 'Case-sensitive APFS' OpenFOAM
I have added a guide for creation of APFS volume (https://github.com/mrklein/openfoam-os-x/wiki/APFS-volume).
BTW you solution with symlink does not work with Foundation version, so instead of $HOME/OpenFOAM
one has to use /Volumes/OpenFOAM
, which works both in Foundation, and in ESI versions.
Here is link to the wiki: https://github.com/mrklein/openfoam-os-x/wiki/APFS-volume
Tested with Big Sur 11.2, OFv2012. APFS volumes share disk space dynamically so there's no space limit like the HFS+ sparsebundle. Needs macOS 10.13+. It can be added to the wiki page to simplify installation.
Or edit
/etc/fstab
to mount it directly All set.
