shrieken213 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) I'm getting a bit confused on the differences between these drivers. IIRC, HFSPlus.efi is Apple's own driver, extracted from the system files somehow (I'd like to learn how). From the sounds of it it's technically not legal. VBoxHFS.efi and its 64-bit version are open-source alternatives for HFSPlus.efi, developed as part of VirtualBox. HFSPlus-64.efi, I can't find any information on where it came from or its differences to HFSPlus.efi. Does anyone know something more about HFSPlus-64.efi? And is there any difference in performance between these drivers? Also, I've been using Apple's apfs.efi pulled from my real Mac to boot APFS volumes ever since APFS was released. It seems Clover now has something called ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi. What does that driver do differently from apfs.efi?

mhaeuser Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 The "-64" suffix is added by Clover for clearity, it doesn't matter Extracting HFSPlus is usually legal, sharing it is not for it is copyrighted of course ApfsDriverLoader loads apfs.efi from the APFS container, checks its sig and disables verbose spam 1 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/335594-hfsplus-hfsplus-64-and-vboxhfsefi/#findComment-2636026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 HFSplus vs VboxHFS is faster but doesn't understand links while vbox does. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/335594-hfsplus-hfsplus-64-and-vboxhfsefi/#findComment-2640034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
