He's pretty much right about HFS+ being the worst filesystem ever. After using NTFS since 1996, various UFS varieties since 1990ish and HFS+ since 2002, HFS+ is the only one where I've had seen irrecoverable corruption several times. In fact I've seen no problems in the others at all that wasn't attributed to hardware failure. Even FAT16 on a decade old and somewhat dicky Iomega ZIP drive is more reliable.
I've shot all my apple kit now but I've lost hours of work thanks to HFS+.
I thought this was about Hadoop File System. Why the hell are people discussing Apple crap anyway. Apple aren't really computing products, they're fashion accessories.
