Faronics has released a new Version of Deep Freeze for Mac, that now supports APFS.
Version 7.00.220.0047 APFS (November 02, 2018)
New Features
Support for macOS 10.13.5 or higher.
Support for FileVault.
Support for Fusion Drives.
Administrators no longer need to restart the computer to set volumes to Frozen, but will need to restart to set the volumes to Thawed mode.
Administrators can manage Deep Freeze. Optionally, Deep Freeze passwords can be enabled.
ThawSpaces grow automatically as they are APFS volumes that do not require an administrator to allocate a specific amount of space.
Note: Users should be set up as Standard users to avoid getting around Deep Freeze protection.
Known Issues
Disk Utility can be accessed by Admin or Standard users to add/delete/erase/mount/unmount APFS volumes.
