How is zFS not a POSIX-style system? Also, while HFS is a hierarchical file system, so is zFS. In retrospect, IBM's choice of names is unfortunate.

Found this in the 2.5 Comms Server manual https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=server-zos-communications-new-function-summary z/OS no longer supports mounting HFS data sets (The POSIX style file system). Instead, a z/OS File System (ZFS) can be implemented. The term hierarchical file system, abbreviated as HFS, is defined as a data structure that has a hierarchical nature with directories and files. References to hierarchical file systems or HFS might still be in use in z/OS Communications Server publications.
