deeveedee Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) EDIT: I will be reverting to HfsPlust.efi as per recommendation from @Andrey1970. OpenHfsPlus.efi is included in the OC 0.6.6 release package, but it should not be used at this time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upgraded from 0C 0.6.5 to OC 0.6.6 with the config.plist changes listed here. Also replaced HfsPlus.efi with OpenHfsPlus.efi. Used this new EFI to upgrade from BS 11.1 to BS 11.2 with NO PROBLEMS. OC and BS upgrade were flawless.

deeveedee Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) I like the boot chime, but not enough to put up with the annoying audio "pop" during macOS startup (caused by AudioDxe.efi). I found this to be true with CLOVER, too, so it's not an OC issue. Does anyone have a way to eliminate the audio "pop" caused by AudioDxe.efi while retaining the boot chime?

I have considered AppleHDA controller startup delay (via alc-delay property or alcdelay boot-arg) but wasn't sure if this would solve the problem. If I have time, I'll experiment with antipop and the AppleHDA delay (unless someone has a better idea).

EDIT: @Andrey1970 - I haven't been running OC0.6.6/OpenHfsPlus.efi for very long, but I haven't noticed any significant change in boot time (I'm booting from SSD, so I wouldn't expect HFS driver to affect boot) and I'm not seeing any change in USB mounting / unmounting times. Also, data transfer to/from USB3 seems fine. If there's a trade-off between security and USB performance and OpenHfsPlus.efi improves OC security validation, I'm fine with OpenHfsPlus.efi based on my initial observations. Who told you that the proprietary driver from Apple not security? For example, loading Recovery 10.15 and older, will be more slowly with OpenHfsPlus.efi Vit about OpenHfsPlus.efi https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/pull/185#issuecomment-770483141 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeveedee Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) @Andrey1970 I stand corrected. Since OpenHfsPlus.efi is included in the released OC 0.6.6 pkg, I thought that OpenHfsPlus.efi was the Acidanthera-approved solution to address this issue. Thanks for setting me straight. I will be reverting to the HfsPlus.efi that I had been using. Thank you. ---------------------------------------- Done... I have reverted to HfsPlus.efi and have revised my Guide here.

blackosx Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) @plsh2me There is no issue. You need to adapt to the requirements of the new release which is to have a Left and Right icon to support the latest changes. By replacing OpenCanopy.efi with a previous version, you have downgraded. Edited February 3, 2021 by blackosx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juan e. jot Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Hello all! First time posting on this thread, but @AudioGod pointed me here to offer my experience on an issue I’ve encountered with the version of OpenHfsPlus.efi bundled with OC 0.6.6: With an external HFS+ volume attached via USB before/at boot time, the graphical boot picker hangs such that no boot options are displayed, thus making booting impossible & necessitating a reset & use of an alternate boot method (F12 or reversion to OC 0.6.5). Reverting to HfsPlus.efi under OC 0.6.6 rectifies the at-boot hang problem, and is what I’m currently using. Either OpenHfsPlus.efi or HfsPlus.efi seem to work for external HFS+ volumes connected after boot. I go into longer detail in posts on pages 172 & 173 of the “AudioGod's Aorus Z390 Pro Patched DSDT Mini Guide and Discussion” thread, and installed OC 0.6.6 with the bootpicker only going to text due to the graphical updates not having been applied, mentioned in an entry on page 171; I believe the external USB drive was attached at that time (rarely disconnect it), but I don’t remember for sure. I also don’t remember (cannot verify the lack of) a hang or any other difficulty upon boot, through the text-based bootpicker, with OpenHfsPlus.efi installed. I can say (as expected) that trying to reproduce the issue now with an OC 0.6.5 Resources folder in an otherwise updated OC 0.6.6 folder stops boot at "OCUI: Failed to load images / OC: External interface failure, fallback to builtin - Unsupported." The only other potentially salient detail I can think of is that there is another volume on the external USB, which is NTFS. I have read/write access to it in macOS via Paragon NTFS for Mac. Thanks for any insight you may have, and feel free to let me know if I should test newer versions of OpenHfsPlus.efi from the repo!

Yup, have been doing so, and it looks like my fallback to HfsPlus.efi is at least currently warranted. Just wondered whether the development direction for OpenHfsPlus.efi would include addressing External HFS+ at boot time making the boot picker hang, or given the bunch of issues (including security!), whether it was going to be dropped from the official OC 0.6.7-and-on masters, until fixed/security-audited/proven (if demonstrable) to be better than other HFS+ drivers?

OpenHfsPlus.efi completely works, but he slow, therefore HfsPlus.efi is recommended. You can a bugreport to Acidanthera and having provided a log, but most likely the priority will be low.
