EFS is still in Irix, and you can still build a machine totally EFS if you
want.  But why would you want to?  I ran a news server on an Indy
R4600/133 with 128MB of RAM.  Disk speed was a bigger factor than just
about anything else.  XFS doesn't give you raw disk speed access, but it's
damn close, and I could pull the plug on the machine and not worry about
spending hours waiting to fsck the spool.  I may have lost an article or
two, but the fs itself was clean and ready to roll.
