I remember starting threads, many months ago, both on FreeBSD and NetBSD lists about lingua franca file system for sharing data between OSes.

I can see why NTFS support is important, due to its prevalence.

But I believe very few people would have any use for HPFS access from BSD, and it would be practically impossible to find testers.
