Okay. I see an example of that mentioned in your mail in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2002/debian-mips-200204/msg00056.html
. That seems to match with an EFS volume header.
So making a tool that writes the 8k volume header is easy. If I
understand properly, that points to a filename on the EFS filesystem
that follows it.
What open source tools do we have to create such an EFS filesystem?

Sadly, I have other plans this weekend.
