Hi Gérard, 
Thanks for your feedback and the pointer to "man mount". ;-)
Yes, it shows HPFS ! :-)
Cool !! ;-D

Regarding your PS and the several HPFS formats:
OS/2 uses HPFS !
For OS/2 Servers exists a faster variant of HPFS386 !!
JFS exists too bu I fo not know about its compatibility and
prortability !?

As for myself I am only using the normal client's simple HPFS
filesystem. ;-)

Merci and cheers
