DiskWarrior 5.0 & High Sierra - 09/25/17 10:34 AM
Over the years, I have run DiskWarrior immediately following the installation of a new OS. And always, numerous (many more then normal/routine) discrepancies are resolved.
But with the advent of APFS, I fear it may take Alsoft months, rather than weeks, to release a High Sierra compatible version.
Ergo, to the questions:
FYI: I only have spinning rust (on internal drives), so my High Sierra would (must?) be HFS+.
1. Presuming I go ahead and install High Sierra, would it still be okay to run DW v5.0, or is that of such risk that it’s best not to run it at all? I guess the real question is: What would you do were you in my situation?
2. At the risk of biasing the replies, my first thought is to install High Sierra, make several clones, and then test DW 5.0 on one of the clones. Or, is that too fraught with peril?
