[Gllug] Linux equivalent of OS X filesystem Directory

[gunzip]

For a long time now I've toyed with the idea of ditching OS X and using 
Linux exclusively instead of purely for server work. The graphics/font 
rendering has always held me back but recently I've encountered a bigger 
factor which may encourage me to switch once and for all - Directory 
corrution/drive failure frequency with OS X. This year I've had 2 failures 
on my dual 2Ghz G5 and in both cases the pattern seems to be the same, ie. 
the filesystem Directory becomes corrupted and the volume won't boot. My 
disks also seem to acquire bad sectors faster under OS X but this could be 
my imagination.

My question is whether Linux works similarly with a filesystem directory 
which is equally vulnerable to corruption when bad sectors creep into the 
disk or is this vulnerability perculiar to OS X?
