<http://aeschi.ch.eu.org/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."
