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...)
