HFS+ isn&#x27;t so much &quot;crazy&quot; as it is &quot;really friggin old&quot;. It&#x27;s not much more than a coat of paint on top of HFS, which was introduced in 1985 (!), and thus is missing out on the last three decades of filesystem research.<p>I might be too optimistic, but I&#x27;ve been assuming that Apple started development on a replacement for HFS+ as soon as the ZFS deal collapsed. I know that was years ago, but filsystems take a looooong time to get right. It&#x27;s coming, guys, I promise!
