The problems with software partitions are simply due to the nature of the driver interface. This primarily happened because sooner or later the soft partitions would have the same problems as hard partitions – bad blocks, b-tree errors, bad catalog files, or simply corruption due to an improper shutdown or software crash that would write data improperly, and suddenly there were two levels of utilities necessary to repair – if a repair was possible at all. In some cases, this worked okay, but in most cases, it worked just like Stacker or eDisk 2 (for more on these ancient utilities, see Miscellaneous Macintosh FAQ) – sooner or later it turned into a disaster.
