Not for a very long time. Prior to XFS they used something called EFS. In the newest Irix EFS is supposed to be read-only.

My ISSR required knowing if anything such as a large NVRAM was in a system. I've been thru a number of SGI systems and ever found more than a modest amount of NVRAM, and that was in a clock chip. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
