I am not sure whether my changes will be kept as wikipedia prefers to
keep badly quoted wrong information before correct information supplied by
people who have first hand information.
Just to prove my information: I invented "fbk" (which Sun now calls "lofi")
in summer 1988 after I received the sources for SunOS-4.0. "fbk" was my
playground for the new vnode interface before I wrote "wofs" the probably first
copy on write filesystem. I definitely know that tmpfs was in 4.0.
