I used HFS for a while, without any issues. A brief search of Google groups reveals that there is some debate over what these bugs are and (in a sense) if it even exists. Some people go as far as suggesting that it is only a problem on larger partitions (the number 200 MB popped up once). There also appears to be a patch for HFS incorrectly calculating logical block numbers, but it doesn't say whether this causes data corruption or potential incompatabilities if you use it with other HFS drivers. Based on the discussions in the mid-1990s, I get the impression that this is an obscure bug which rose to legendary status. That said, whatever you put on your hard drive is your data -- so beware.
