> I've never had HFS+ render a file "unreadable," that I can recall. I wouldn't put it past it. I've had file system corruption on HFS+ render the file system mountable but unrepairable, though. Which is something completely alien to me on any UNIX system new enough to have fsck... if your file system is so broken that fsck can't fix it then it's broken indeed, and you have to have done something really appalling to get it that messed up... we're talking about things like trashing the partition table and a significant chunk of the beginning of the file system in a horrible format accident. I've had that happen to me a few times, and I always knew why. I've had HFS+ eat its brain badly enough that I had to copy everything to a new filesystem and format it at least as often as that... over a tenth as many years and maybe a hundredth as many systems.There's stuff above here
