how to mount apfs case-sensitive volume mount

[Hokwang]

Description

Hi,

I need to case-sensitive volume for compile something on mac m3 chip.

so I create apfs case-sensitive volume using disk utility.

In disk utility, created volume name "dev_vol", format apfs case-sensitive, encripted.

for convinience, ln -s /Volumes/dev_vol ~/work/dev_vol

and then,

cd ~/work/dev_vol
mkdir test
cd test

docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/build --privileged  ubuntu bash
docker: Error response from daemon: error while creating mount source path '/Users/a14638/work/dev_vol': mkdir /Users/a14638/work/dev_vol: file exists.

I don't know what is problem.

I using vz, rosetta option also
because I need to run linux/amd64 docker image.

I suspect that the docker container has been started before the volume was mounted on the macOS host.
Docker by default creates an empty directory if the mounted directory does not exist.

By the way, you do not need to create a custom APFS volume if the primary use case is in the docker container. Linux treats the mounted filesystem case-sensitive even if the it is not case-sensitive on the macOS host.

You need to follow this instruction https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/blob/main/docs/FAQ.md#issue-with-docker-bind-mount-showing-empty

In my case, I use a case-sensitive file system to control myself and avoid problems when my code doesn't work on Linux.
