Kettled twice. Extra chewy, extra trustworthy.
Summary
This GitHub repository provides a stress test tool for parallel disk I/O performance using git and pnpm operations. The tool is designed to identify potential issues with APFS on macOS while also serving as a general stress test for observing file system events, particularly useful for security tools, EDR systems, and virus scanners. The test requires Node.js >= 22.11 and pnpm >= 10.2, and includes setup instructions for different operating systems including Windows PowerShell.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledThis repo aims to prove that something is wrong with APFS on macOS, but is also a good stress test in general when changing machine tooling that wants to observe fs events (such as security tooling / EDR / virus scanners / etc)
