As it can't be installed on zfs partition which is viewed as a
removable device. I installed in other partition and moved it. But
when I opened photoshop, it clearly shows the crash info as follows:

Data is a zfs pool.

Adobe fails at case sensitivity. This is definitely the case here.
They do not support their software installed on a case-sensitive HFS
partition either.

Hi

No Adobe CS products will install on a case sensitive file system.

What I did is create a sparsebundle image where I've put the Photoshop
application, and I mount that partition prior to starting Photoshop.

No other easy way around it, unless you disable case sensitivity.

Should also mention that not only it won't install on a case sensitive
file system, but it will also not run. Though that part only you can
get around by creating symlinks, but it's such an hassle that I found
the sparsebundle option much easier

I was going to say you can obviously get around that problem by creating a ZFS dataset which has casesensitivity set to sensitive, or perhaps mixed. Presumably that works on the old zfs version here?

(You'd still have to copy the installation across from HFS+... Stupid Adobe.)

Cheers,

Case sensitive filesystems were introduced in onnv_77 which is what I'm merging with at the moment. However even once the module is usable the case sensitivity is going to require some more testing before it's ready.

Yeah, I will google zfs dateset. It sounds an excellent solution.

I think the UTF-8 normalization stuff might be important too, as OS X uses a slightly unusual form for historical reasons and might subtly freak out if a filesystem did something different. Maybe that's in onnv_77 as well.

Cheers,

Chris

I tried to use command "zfs create -o casesensitivity=insensitive"
but it said "invalid property 'casesensitivity'"

if you carefully read the message before, he said:
"Case sensitive filesystems were introduced in onnv_77 which is what
I'm merging with at the moment"

so I'm assuming that merge isn't finished yet, and as such, there is
no case sensitive option yet
