Because RBIL says:

INT 21 - Windows95 - LONG FILENAME - GET VOLUME INFORMATION
	AX = 71A0h
	DS:DX -> ASCIZ root name (e.g. "C:\")
	ES:DI -> buffer for file system name
	CX = size of ES:DI buffer
Return: CF clear if successful
	    AX destroyed (0000h and 0200h seen)
	    BX = file system flags (see #01783)
	    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

So it looks like either FreeDOS does not comply to what it should be,
or maybe RBIL is inaccurate.

In general, unsupported functions should return something more
prominent than just AX = 1, though.
