People bitch and moan about HFS+ but I've never found anything particularly objectionable about it, even after writing several filesystem utilities on top of it

People bitch and moan about HFS+ but I've never found anything particularly objectionable about it, even after writing several filesystem utilities on top of it.
I've always found Spotlight to be utter garbage, but that's not the fault of HFS+.
- chrisfinazzo 8y agoOK, so you're not just spewing nonsense, but it bears repeating that the internals of HFS+ were horribly dated towards the end of its life. This prevented them from adding features or fixing bugs in a way that would be forward looking. The system requirements for HFS and HFS+ reflected this and partially explain why there was little progress for literally years at a time. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2011/07/mac-os-x-10-7/12/#hfs-problems https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2011/07/mac-os-x-10-7/12/#hf... Eventually, you have to start over.
