When I attempted to defragment my hard disk Saturday, I got an alert saying
that the catalog extents were bad, and that the disk could not be
defragged.  So, after making a backup of the disk, I tried to fix it.  Disk
First Aid said that it couldn't fix it.  Norton said that it couldn't fix
it.  MacTools tried to fix it and wound up making the disk uncrecognizable
and unmountable.

I'm really glad that I made that backup first.  Anyway, erasing the disk
and then restoring from the backup defragmented the disk.
