Hey, Apple, how about finishing up the HFS-metadata-emulation-for-UFS
so I can run this crap from UFS partitions, which don't freak out and
corrupt themselves when free space gets below 10% and you can't find
contiguous space for a spicy new catalog extent or something, AND the
metadata magic cookies get stored in only mildly hateful
dot-underscore-filename files that I can tweeze out and restore by hand
if I need to?
