My question is whether the HFS+ filesystem directory is more vulnerable to 
total wipeout when a few bad sectors creep in. Someone posted that ext2/3 
creates several redundant copies of the superblock which may indictate 
superiority in this respect but I'm not in a sufficiently informed position 
to judge.
