Hello listers,

I'm trying to extend an HFS-volume to an HFS+ volume. Going by the specifications I've gathered the major differences which would play a role in the construction of an image.....

1) Difference in Allocation Block Size

2) Difference in basic structure of B-Tree components , MDB Vs. Volume Header etc. (incl. respective fields, kind of fields etc.)

3) Difference in NodeSize of the catalog

4) Thread records must be maintained even for files in HFS+

Anything else I've left out / overlooked ?

All I want to achieve is to modify my algos for HFS to work for HFS+ as well . I guess the variation in the allocation block size would help optimize disk space for HFS+.

Any other major / minor aspect I should be considering ?

Regards,

Nandini
