I'm experiencing very very veeeeery bad IO performance since I updated to macOS Mojave. Anyone experiencing the same problem?
I'm having a number of issues since installing Mojave. I can't seem to mount at all right now. The process just hangs.
I had similar issue. Look at the original thread that has link to this. Solution was to move to APFS
https://gist.github.com/dixson3/8360571#file-workspace-sh-L7
Is there a way to resize the disk image created using this script? I have run out of space on the case sensitive image and changing the value of CASE_SAFE_VOLUME_SIZE while mounting doesn't help. Is my only option to create another image of larger size and transfer the contents? Or is there an easier, more obvious way that I am missing?
@amaharana, I just added a resize
command that you should be able to use (along with setting CASE_SAFE_VOLUME_SIZE
). Note that I have not tested this, as I am not currently using this script myself and don't have one to test with.
Has anyone used this on Big Sur? I have noticed that if the computer goes to sleep with the image filesystem mounted, interacting with the file system inside the image becomes incredibly slow.... but not consistently so I haven't be able to recreate it well enough to report the bug
For anyone who comes here, I was having the IO issues @tpinne mentioned but as my previous comment indicated I have only been having them since using Big Sur. I have changed the script so that the filesystem is "Case-sensitive APFS" and so far it seems a lot better... I was barely able to run npm install
in directories in the mounted workspace before, now it seems to be working as expected
Any ideas on how to encrypt this?
I tried to add hdiutil create -encryption
flag and enter a password etc, it works properly when I manually mount it but then when I run
hdiutil isencrypted /dev/disk3s1
encrypted: NO
It says not encrypted 🤔 not sure if i'm not thinkin something through properly though
Unfortunately, I am no longer using this myself, so I can't advise much. I did do a quick search and found this:
https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/178685
That answer specifically mentions Maverisks so is rather old, but if I'm reading it correctly, it sounds like it's possible for macOS to cache an old encryption status of "no" if a drive with the same path/name is remounted as one that was previously encrypted.
SPARSEBUNDLE might be a better choice than SPARSE. The bundle appears to split the image into chunks, and therefore works better with backup software which only needs to update the changed chunks after the first copy.
