Hello,
I have many problems to manage the new structure of the volumes introduced with High Sierra and Big Sur around the use and configuration of the APFS.
Where could I find a technical documentation about this APFS organisation?
By technical documentation I don't mean a theoretical nice PowerPoint for the boss. I mean a real technical documentation which will permit me for example:
• to understand how is built and organized the complete set of different APFS volumes to install a new macOS,
• to build an installer on an USB key which will be usabel for a highly secured environment where an Internet connection is not allowed and not possible,
• to build a script to check that an actual APFS set of volumes doesn't present any major discrepency, a kind of meta-fsck, not the Disk Utility way, but the engineer way, essentially running through command line, and fully compatible with the traditionnal system, network and security administration.
Sorry, I am a very special case of developper. I only develop tools from shell scripts to make system, network and security administration. And to build more scripts withm them.
My answer to Select a Subtopic could have been:
system administration, technical documentation
