(No title for page)efs
The Extent File System (efs) is Silicon Graphics' early block-device
filesystem, widely used on pre-6.0 versions of IRIX. Since 6.0, xfs
has been bundled with IRIX and users are being encouraged to migrate
to xfs filesystems. IRIX support for efs will be read-only in versions
of IRIX beyond 6.5, however efs is still very much in use on SGI
software distribution CDs.
implementation
The efs kernel module is an implementation of
the extent file system for linux 2.2 kernels. An efs implementation
(efsmod-0.6.tar.gz) was originally written for 1.x kernels by
Christian Vogelgsang.
In this implementation the code has undergone a complete rewrite
and is also endian-clean. To use the efs module, you will need
to have at least a 2.2 kernel. To mount IRIX CDs, your CD-ROM
will need to be able to cope with 512-byte blocks.
availability
The efs module is available for download.
The current version is now 1.0b. All users are encouraged to
use this release.
This version of efs contains support for hard-disk partitions, and also
contains a kernel patch to allow you to install the efs code into your
linux kernel tree. Handling of large files has also been vastly improved.
