It says it's NT's HPFS... I didn't think Linux supported that (yet). -> ->OS/2 uses HPFS most extensively, but NT also supported it (MS removed it ->in the 4.0 release). It is a MicroSoft file system that IBM somehow owns ->part of, like most of Os/2. It's not really incorrect to call it NT's ->HPFS just useless as NT can't use the format anymore. NT's native ->filesystem is NTFS (which has an experimental driver out).
Ahh... I can imagine how IBM got ahold of it (if it's part owned/designed by MS). Remember, in the early days of OS/2, it was an MS/IBM cooperative effort. It isn't NT's HPFS though, is it? I mean, it was written for OS/2 originally. Wasn't OS/2 out before NT? I thought NT supported it until MS decided to shot all OS/2 compatability in the back (i.e. Win95/NT4.0) Perhaps that "title" should say: OS/2 and NT HPFS BTW: Is the HPFS ReadOnly still?
