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.
