    Slow Boot Even w/ Thunderbolt 3/NVMe APFS Drives?

    It's a pretty common issue to have slow boot times now with external ssds connected with USB 3 or USB-C, but does this problem still exist with TB3 NVMe external drives (such as a Samsung X5)?

    Possible to re-format APFS to HFS+?

    I formatted an SSD destined to become my new High Sierra boot disk as APFS, not realizing that HFS would have been fine. Is there any way I can re-format this drive to HFS+?

    Cloning APFS SSD to disk image on HD?

    I have a 240GB boot drive on my CMP 5,1 running High Sierra which is about 90% filled and which I want to replace with a 500GB external SSD. Can I create an APFS disk image on a hard drive, clone the old boot drive to the disk image and then clone the disk image to the 500GB SSD?

    Disk Utility 10.14.2 can not umount

    Since installing 10.14.2, I can no longer format volumes to APFS: Disk Utility fails to umount the volume. Even after stopping each and every thinkable process, it hangs in the umount phase. Quickly trying on my 10.14.1 MacBook was successful. Bug? Waiting for 10.14.3 etc. etc. .......... ;JOOP!
