HFS mimic and Finder Info windows #763

Open Fnuxus opened 4 years ago

The Finder Info window should reflect the actual status of a ZFS pool.

  1. Create a macOS friendly pool (case insensitive):

sudo zpool create -f -o ashift=12 -O compression=lz4 -O casesensitivity=insensitive -O atime=off -O normalization=formD tank mirror disk3 disk4

  1. Activate the HFS mimic feature on this ZFS pool:

sudo zfs set com.apple.mimic_hfs=on tank

  1. Select the pool in the Finder and hit Command-I to bring up the Info window.

Currently (O3X 1.9.3.1) the Info window describes the pool as Mac OS Extended (case sensitive).

I suggest the mimic feature should reflect the actual case sensitivity of the pool in the Info window. Things like that irritate new ZFS users and don’t exactly create trust.
