Carbon is the wrong level for tackling such a problem, but nobody stops you from using system calls and other frameworks in the same app. Did you notice files have some tendency to be moved around on the platter (hot file clustering) or may not exist at all on the magnetic media (yet to be written, network file system, ...)? Other than that I'm not aware of API dealing with the file system level other than disassembling the thing yourself. For local file systems you should have some luck looking at the implementation of fsck for borrowing code: <http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/> This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
