A possible fix for 'overlapped extent allocation' errors
I too encountered this error and was unable to fix by fsck. I came across a post in Apple discussions where someone suggested running OS9 disc repair utility.

It has been about a month now.

It is more likely an HFS/HFS+ file system bug
If your hard drive ever reached the point of being over 85%-90% full, then it is likely that the HFS file system caused the extents tree to be overwritten (overlapped) because the B-Tree portion of the directory itself was out of space! |
