Apple wrote an interesting article[0] way back in 2000 about some of difficulties in integrating Unix/Mac, especially files and filesystems.

e.g. case sensitive vs insensitive, different path separators : vs / , lack of file IDs on UFS, resource forks, hard links and the above mentioned deleting files that are open.
