Prysm Unable To Startup on Mac OS Ventura

[nisdas]

🐞 Bug Report

Description

Users running on a Mac OS Ventura with an external SSD on a exFAT filesystem are unable to startup and run Prysm. This is due to the ENOTTY being returned by the OS on fsync calls.

Similar errors have been reported in the following repos:
restic/restic#4016
restic/rest-server#198
realm/realm-core#5789

Since prysm doesn't handle fsync calls directly with the OS, this would have to be fixed in bbolt which is upstream so that users can continue running on exFAT filesystems.

Has this worked before in a previous version?

Yes, on Mac OS Monterrey .
