I assume this could help.. Apple File System Reference - (Source: https://developer.apple.com)

Jensderond commented 5 years ago

Information was already shared in #80

RJVB commented 5 years ago

Yes, I'd be surprised if this resource was unknown around here...

Am I right that it doesn't say anything about HFS/APFS compression?

Jensderond commented 5 years ago

@RJVB Yeah I figured.. The README of this project made me think otherwise by saying: Since Apple didn't yet document the disk format of APFS, this driver should be considered experimental.

RJVB commented 5 years ago

My experience with documents like this is that you only know if they're exhaustive when you start to try and implement a feature-complete implementation off of it. I can fully understand that the team consider their driver experimental if it is based on a document and not on a (complete) reference implementation (as there is/was for HFS).
