It’s HFSX.
According to “Mac OS X, IPod, and IPhone Forensic Analysis DVD Toolkit” book, the IPhone Partitioning scheme (which is quite similar to similar to Apple TV) contains:
1 – A first Master Boot Record partition (around 500mb),
2 – followed by an Apple_Free area,
3 – then a a first HFSX partition, which primarily stores the iPhone’s operating system.
4 – Again, another Apple_Free area
5 – and finally the second HFSX partition holding all user data (apps, movies, pictures, whatever)
