Filesystems HOWTO: High Performance FileSystem (HPFS) Next Previous Contents

4. High Performance FileSystem (HPFS)

Good HPFS links:

4.1 Accessing HPFS from DOS (iHPFS)

  • Homepage: http://www.student.nada.kth.se/~f96-bet/ihpfs/
  • Author: Marcus Better Marcus.Better@abc.se
  • Download: http://www.student.nada.kth.se/~f96-bet/ihpfs/ihpfs128.zip
  • Access: Read-only
  • License: GPL

iHPFS makes possible for OS/2 users to use their HPFS partitions when they boot plain DOS. The HPFS partition is assigned a drive letter, and can be accessed like any DOS drive.iHPFS is restricted to read-only access.

This program is no longer being developed, because author doesn't use OS/2. If you are willing to maintain the program, let him know.

4.2 Accessing HPFS from DOS (hpfsdos)

  • Homepage: ?
  • Author: Robert Muchsel < rmuchsel@iiic.ethz.ch> (this e-mail doesn't work)
  • Access: Read-only
  • License: Shareware ($23)

4.3 Accessing HPFS from DOS (hpfsa)

4.4 Accessing HPFS from DOS (amos)

4.5 Accessing HPFS from Linux

  • Homepage: http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mikulas/vyplody/hpfs/index-e.cgi
  • Download: http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mikulas/vyplody/hpfs/hpfs-0.99b.tar.gz for 2.0 kernels; and http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mikulas/vyplody/hpfs/hpfs-1.98b.tar.gz for 2.2 kernels
  • Author: Mikulas Patocka < mikulas@artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz >
  • Access: Read-Write, extended attributes, long names.
  • License: GPL
This driver is part of Linux kernel (2.1.x+). It can read and write to HPFS partions. Access rights and owner can be stored in extended attributes. Few bugs in original read-only HPFS are corrected. It supports HPFS386 on Warp Server Advanced.

If you have kernel with HPFS support, say "Y"es to 'OS/2 HPFS filesystem support' in Filesystems submenu. Then recompile kernel using 'make dep bzImage', reboot and try to mount your HPFS partition (e.g. mount /dev/hda2 /mnt -t hpfs).

4.6 Accessing HPFS from FreeBSD

  • Homepage: http://iclub.nsu.ru/~semen/
  • Download: http://iclub.nsu.ru/~semen/hpfs/hpfs-0.3b.tar.gz
  • Author: Semen A. Ustimenko < semenu@FreeBSD.org >
  • Access: Read/Only
  • License: BSD
Driver allows to mount HPFS volume into Unix namespace. ReadOnly access is only supported for now.

4.7 Accessing HPFS from Windows NT 3.5

  • Homepage: http://www.htc.net/~nbehnken/
  • Download: http://www.htc.net/~nbehnken/hpfs_nt.zip
  • Author: Chris Behnken < nbehnken@htc.net >
  • License: Freeware
This program will edit the Windows NT registry and enable HPFS support. Pinball.sys is the HPFS filesystem driver for Windows NT. It can be found on NT 3.5x's CD-ROM. Microsoft no longer supports HPFS. Installing this program will void your warranty and possibly the license agreement.

4.8 Accessing HPFS from Windows NT 4

HPFS driver for Windows NT 4.0
