  Sorry, I was in a hurry and was sloppy.  I even had the wrong version of
  ULTRIX  (it was 3, not 2).

  What I WAS referring to was the introduction of GFS/ufs .  I don't know
  how much of it was "concept", how much reality  (we can't afford the source
  code).  But lots of things did change.  One was that, up to that point,
  monkeying with tunefs had an effect, whil e afterward it didn't.  (We also
  had to replace our third party QBUS/SMD/MSCP controllers, but that's another
  story...)
