Isn't the official name of the file system HFS+, not HFS Plus? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.0.211.71 ( talk • contribs) 01:58, September 21, 2004 (UTC)
On 4 April some bulletpoints were added to this heading, which all go unreferenced. Especially "real hardlinks" raises an eyebrow, as Apple developer documentation makes references to them (for example here and here) and Time Machine makes extensive use of them ( as Pondini, a helpful site about this subject and more, explains).
Now, I'm also wondering about concurrent access. This was listed as a limitation of HFS (the predecessor of HFS+) on this wiki page, which had to do with how the catalog file was built. I find no other credible sources making this claim.
The other bullet points are more obvious and well known, but would of course also be stronger if citation was given :)

What the hell is a "real hard link"? The reference provided just talks about how hard links are implemented in HFS+ (which is arguably a workaround). According to TN1150, hard links on HFS+ should behave exactly as they do on any other UNIX. I suggest removing that bullet from the list. Feuermurmel ( talk) 23:45, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
It might be worthwhile to mention : (colon) as used as a HFS+ directory marker, and this causes still problems. For example golang zip archives cannot store files with colon in filename because of HFS+. This issue is documented in USENIX 2000 talk The Challenges of Integrating the Unix and Mac OS Environments http://www.wsanchez.net/papers/USENIX_2000/

I added a dubious tag to the claim that most filesystems beside HFS+ does not support hard links. Besides the FAT systems and some ancient ones that are no longer used (I have no idea how many that amount to), I don't know of any formats that does not support hard links. The claim is unsupported by any sources and I doubt any will ever be made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.239.195.102 ( talk) 05:18, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
