I don't know for sure. But this is what I've found in the interrupt list:
--------D-2171A0-----------------------------
INT 21 - Windows95 - LONG FILENAME - GET VOLUME INFORMATION
	AX = 71A0h
	DS:SI -> ASCIZ root name (e.g. "C:\")
	ES:DI -> buffer for file system name
	CX = size of ES:DI buffer
Return: CF clear if successful
	    BX = flags (see below)
	    CX = maximum length of file name [usually 255]
	    DX = maximum length of path [usually 260]
	    ES:DI buffer filled (ASCIZ, e.g. "FAT","NTFS","CDFS")
	CF set on error
	    AX = error code
		7100h if function not supported
Note:	for the file system name buffer, 32 bytes should be sufficient; that's
	 what is used in some sample code by Walter Oney from Microsoft.

Bitfields for long filename volume information flags:
Bit(s)	Description	(Table 1049)
 0	searches are case sensitive
 1	preserves case in directory entries
 2	uses Unicode characters in file and directory names
 3-13	reserved (0)
 14	supports DOS long filename functions
 15	volume is compressed
