Last week I did a singler user boot and fscked my hard disk and found an overlapped extent allocation error. As far as I understand hard disks (not much) this means two files are in the same place (so of course one or both are corrupted).

I ran Disk Warrior and it found them and fixed up lots of other things. Luckily they were files I didn't need so I dumped both.

My question is:

Could I have found which files overlapped by some easier method than Disk Warrior?

Its great but it takes quite awhile to run and build the new directory.

Thanks - Michael
