SubjectRe: MacOS file system ?
Actaully, the HPFS (High Performance File System) is for OS/2, so HFS is
correct. HFS is designed for use on MAC formatted disks (harddrives,
zipdisk, floppy, etc.) HFS works great and gives you all the long
filenames, etc. Looks just like a mount VFAT, or EXT2 partition.
