![]() ![]() I suspect that monolothic disk intensive apps, such as Filemaker Pro, are best left to HFS+ for the time being. And it will take time for Apple to both identify and iron out what will be inevitable technical hiccups.ĪPFS is a very sophisticated file system that must track far more than does HFS+. Presently developers have little experience and almost no technical documentation to go with. Thus I have transitioned back to HFS+ for the time being, with not one hiccup.įor the uninitiated, the transition to an altogether new file system (APFS) is a very big deal technically.

I have been using it since that time and it has been at points a fantastic product, a good product, a decent product and always a product that could hold its own against generally any other database out there.
