-- I have a new install of SuSE 9.3 on a box with OS/2 4.52 also
installed. The OS/2 system uses HPFS (high performance file system).
This is a new system with SATA drives that are approached as SCSI
(sda, sdb).

(1) I modified FSTAB to see the HPFS partitions
    /dev/sda6 /drives/os2 hpfs ro,user,noauto 00

(2) When I try to mount them I get:
      (a) wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock, missing code page
or other error

       (b) dmesg | tail READS
  hpfs: unsupported module tainting kernel
  HPFS: filesystem error: dir band size mismatch:
dir_band_start==00177ff4, dir_band_end==00000000,
n_dir_band==0017be83; already mounted read-only

Booting to OS2 works fine. Also, other HPFS partition on this box get
the same messages

Can anybody help????
