Does anyone know of a program (commercial or otherwise) which checks the bitmap, extent, and catalog files of an HFS disk for consistency? Something that reports blocks marked as allocated but not assigned to any file, blocks multiply allocated, etc? Failing that, does anyone have any example code which reads these files for any purpose? The program ought not be hard to write... The other day, I found out something was wrong when FEdit plus crashed when trying to open a file (any file) from my hard disk. Everything seemed OK from the Finder, but I did a backup, reinit and restore anyway. Anyone have any tools at all for helping to cope with this situation?
