Create a case-sensitive HFS boot disk
Nice. But it would be a lot easier if I could just boot from the install CD and then have HFSX as an option in the disk utility durring installation. Has any one tried to make a copy of the Apple install CD, modify it as described in this hint, burn it to a CD, and then install with it?
Create a case-sensitive HFS boot disk
Actually, that was my first thought, but it doesn't work =(. All you get is the greyed screen of death. That's one of the reasons I submitted the hint.
Create a case-sensitive HFS boot disk
Why not just use:
sudo diskutil eraseVolume "Case-sensitive HFS+" "Desired Name of Disk" /Volumes/"Current Name of Disk" ? That can be done while booted from any other partition. All you have to do is use Carbon Copy Cloner or asr[1] to clone your volume to a spare disk, boot from the clone, run the above command on your original drive to format it as case-sensitive, journaled HFS+, and clone back. That's it. Not sure why the hint had to be so convoluted. [1] asr can be used to clone a volume as follows: sudo asr -source / -target /Volumes/"Target Disk" (Assumes you're booted from the volume you're cloning.)
asr
* I'm glad you pointed this out, i wasn't even aware that this utility existed! |
