With the release of Tiger, Apple has allowed the option to format a hard disk in the format called "Mac OS Extended (case-sensitive,journaled)." This format is also available on 10.3 Server (and 10.3 client with some minor hacking), and is the default for Tiger Server. The benefits of a case-sensitive file system are many for a unix/server environment.
One of the downsides I have noticed of a case-sensitive file system is that Adobe's CS 2 Suite does not work at all. The solution is simple though:
- Use apple's Disk Utility app to create a new sparse disk image of at least 5 GB (it doesn't matter really, since it will only end up as large as the contents on the disk image)
- Mount the new disk image
- Install CS 2 to the disk image (since it is formatted as case insensitive, the apps will work fine from the disk image)
