Submission + - Massive Data Loss Bug in Leopard (tomkarpik.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Monday November 05, 2007 @04:16PM

An anonymous reader writes: Leopard's Finder has a glaring bug in its directory-moving code, leading to horrendous data loss if a destination volume disappears while a move operation is in action. This author first came across it when Samba crashed while he was moving a directory from his desktop over to a Samba mount on his FreeBSD server.
