If you are experiencing (or plan to experience) bad things because of
this, I strongly recommend DiskWarrior. Should handle any evil issues
with the Extents.

The Extents Overflow File of one of my HFS+ partitions has a few
records referencing fileIDs (aka NSFileSystemNumber or unique
catalog node ID (CNID) ) which do not exist (i.e. are not in the
Catalog File).
Disk Utility (and fsck) do have no problem with this and report no error.
But what will happen when the CNID wraps around and these
non-existing iIDs will be used again?
Will the file system notice that dead records exist in the Extents
file and remove them?
Or will a terrible confusion be the result?
Currently I create about 1 million IDs per year, so the CNID
wrap-around is not really imminent.
