Seen the latest Apple commercials with the IBM/Apple guys, the ones where IBM has to admit Vista has had some problems...
Well it looks like Apple may have spoken a little too soon, a blogger has appearently discovered a data loss glitch in Apple's highly touted Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. The bug results in the loss of data when moving files to or from any external drive, including external hard drives, USB flash drives, SMB file shares, or even a network attached storage. Ouch!
Excerpt from The Register:
According to Tom Karpik, the bug manifests itself when an attempt to move - rather than copy - a folder from the Mac is interrupted. Moving a folder off a disk essentially involves first copying it then deleting the original. Karpik shows that Finder fails to ensure that the folder has been successfully written to the target disk before removing the original.
