mhaeuser Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 It was not "changed", OpenHFS is a FOSS and slow driver, HFSPlus is proprietary and fast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 5T33Z0 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Technically: OpenHFSPlus is slower Legally: HFSPlus belongs to Apple as far as licensing goes and you are not allowed to share it, while OpenHFS is opensource So to be on the safe to share.

joevt Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) OpenHFS plus doesn't support case sensitive HFS and hangs when one of my 9 disks (100+ partitions) is connected before boot. Edited December 5, 2023 by joevt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
