I'm scared. I decided to switch over OSX but while looking up info on how to format a flash drive I ran across this.

>Before I acquired the Linux Microserver, I used to keep a copy of all my photos on a Dreamhost account. I recently compared these photos against their current versions on the iMac and was a bit shocked by the results.
>The photos were taken between 2006 and 2011, most of them after 2008. There are 15264 files, which represent a total of 105 GiB. 70% of these photos are CR2 raw files from my old EOS 350D camera. The other photos are regular JPEGs which come from the cameras of friends and relatives.
>HFS+ lost a total of 28 files over the course of 6 years.
I don't care how nice OSX is, if it corrupts my files its unacceptable. Any other Mac users have siilar issues?
