Concerning the post "Can you fix the MacOS X Bitcoin LevelDB data corruption issue?" in "Development and Technical Discussion" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=337294.0. This post claims a bounty of "MacOS X LevelDB Corruption Bounty (10.00 BTC + 200.2 LTC)"

Apologies for replying in the newbies section but your policy does not allow a response to the post for a new member.

I believe that post number #13 may reveal that one source of the problem is an internal SSD drive using out of date drivers. I use an OWC Mercury Accelsior PCIe SSD Media and when I upgraded from Mac OS X 10.7 to Mac OS 10.8 every time I shut down the machine I suffered from a disk corruption. The fix was to upgrade the OWC drivers for the new OS which fixed the problem. As most customers are probably running on a fairly recent Mac laptop with an internal SSD drive this problem may be quite prevalent.

In any case you should ask all customers reporting this bug to supply info regarding the storage hardware that they have on their Mac, including the disk controller model, the driver version and the disk drive model. This may throw some light on the problem if it is a software/hardware problem.

Hope this helps or may lead to a fix for the bug.
