HP's HFS is a BSD Fast Filesystem (FFS) derivative.  There are a few
minor differences, but they are very closely related.  By studying the
HP-specific magic numbers added to recent 2.3/4 series kernels, you should
have no problem making a fsck.ufs or fsck.ffs work on Linux.  If anyone
can find one, let me know, and a mkfs would also be useful to have.
