Some filesystems are less susceptible than others.  The ext2/3/4 family
of filesystems, for example, stores redundant copies of the superblock
in different locations across a volume.  HFS+ is much less resilient (as
well as being slower, having annoying and archaic limitations etc.  Not
using HFS+ is a good idea.
