Not sure why that would blow your mind, but Apple's old Time Capsule basically mounted a sparsebundle over the network too. And yes I would also guess this new format would work better.

My experience with NFS file management has been less than stellar, so running a full, virtualized, and performant APFS volume on top of it feels like a bit of a magic trick.

  • Interesting. My employer uses NFS extensively and issues are very rare, and such issues can always be traced to underlying network issues not NFS itself. It's a good choice if you have a good network.

    • My former employer used NFS and it would lock up a bunch of stuff whenever the network dropped for a bit. In fact a lot of their software had detection for this case so that you wouldn't think it was at fault for the issues.
