Dr. Sacco: That's a nice story with a happy ending (fortunately).

I have heard or read dozens and dozens of anecdotal stories in which DiskWarrior saved someone's bacon. In fact, I have heard so many stories, that I have never had an instance of needing DiskWarrior: I run "fsck -fy" (or Apple's Disk Utility) followed by DiskWarrior on all my Macs about once a month as a preventative maintenance measure.
(For what it is worth, versions of Mac OS X prior to 10.3 used to report multiple errors with fsck *and* DiskWarrior on every run, even after just a few days. With more recent versions of Mac OS X, these errors are increasingly rare.)
Good luck with your computing, both Mac OS and Linux! Best wishes, Clint -- Dr. Clinton C.
