Re: Testcase failure on OSX

[Hani Suleiman]

HFS is the standard FS on all OSX installs. You can find maybe 0.01% of 
users who are unix savvy enough to use UFS, but everyone else will be 
on HFS, with all its limitations. The same problem happens on linux too 
(but more intermittently).

I also think it feels wrong and also cannot find any problematic

come
about) it will have this special behavior.
I have not followed this thread very closely, and since I'm not an OSX
user, I am not familiar with the particular FS type that has this
problem.  Is this an old FS?
Is hacking Lucene to work around this 'bug' in a particular old(?) FS
the right thing to do, or would it be better to draw the line here and
say: get a better FS?
I'm not sure, I don't know anything about that FS, etc., but I'm
wondering what others think.
