I upgraded 4 Mac from 10.13.1 to 10.13.2 today. Three iMacs & a MBA were done. Two iMacs have HDs & the third a Fusion drive. The MBA, with an SSD had been converted to the new APFS structure while the iMacs had not.
The MBA completed its update in about 8 minutes, the others took around 35 minutes. I'm inclined to think this is a benefit of the APFS.
Updated the MBA to macOS 10.13.2 the connected a USB drive in order to transfer the updater to the iMac.
Up popped a warning that the system was unable to repair the attached drive.
I tried copying the updater to the drive anyway but copying was impossible.
Fired up DiskWarrior which found heaps of problems with the directory. So I replaced said directory with the new one that DiskWarrior has created.
All fixed: can now copy to that ext drive.
@indigo More fool you, then. I wipe my hands of your pathetic intransigence!
You cannot hide from the might & power of Google, you might as well embrace the devil you do know.

@indigo Fluid stopped working reliably for me about three years ago, it just won’t remember passwords.
Now I use Epichrome instead.

Yesterday was the day of the funeral of the fellow who invented USB. He had to be buried twice as at the first attempt, the coffin went in the wrong way.
About a year ago I bough a 240 GB SSD from a store some 40 km away. Amazon Australia sells the same thing for $135, or $23 more.
No savings at all with Amazon on that device.
Took long enough. Amazon at last opened its Australian website to local deliveries today.
