HFSConverter Description

Free and open source HFS+ case sensitive and case insensitive convertor HFSConverter provides a simple GUI interface for converting between case sensitive and case insensitive HFS+. HFS+ is the standard file system for Mac OS X. HFS+ like HFS was originally case-preserving at its introduction. Meaning it retained the case of file names but when it actually checked to see if a file existed case was ignored. Starting in 10.4 Server Apple introduced the ability to formate using a case sensitive version of the file system. This was especial helpful to people moving files off case-sensitive UNIX file systems which might have “ESP” and “esp” as separate files in the same location. This would produce a duplicate file error copy to a non case-sensitive HFS+ drive. HFSConverter is designed to fail safe even on unsupported filesystems. It reads all required data first if any error is encountered it will abort without trying to write any data. It will also abort if the expected marker values are not found. A write operation will only be attempted if the disk is determined to be an HFS+ partition. If an error occurs during writing it will restore the original state of the disk. Only Apple Partion or GPT drives are supported at this time and drives with mutiple HFS/HFS+ partiations are not supported. Requirements: · XCode
