A Mac OS X file system that provides free metadata search capabilities.
However, there are a few notes that you need to keep in mind before getting started. Firstly, the portmapper needs to be running. You can start it with `sudo launchctl start com.apple.portmap' from a shell. Moreover, if you are already running an NFS server on your Mac OS X, Birch will not work.
It is also important to note that since Birch is an experimental file system, there are some things that don't quite work as expected. However, the developers have worked hard to ensure that Birch does not crash your computer, or at least not anymore. Nevertheless, if you encounter any problems, please report them to the development team for improvement in future updates.
It is recommended to restart Finder after playing with Birch as something strange is going on with mounted file systems. Even after Birch is unmounted, the disk will still appear to be mounted. You can kill Finder by running `killall Finder'. Lastly, you can unmount the file system with `umount localhost:/Birch'.
Overall, Birch is a unique and advanced file system with innovative search functionality, providing Mac users with an alternative search experience that goes beyond traditional file systems.
