mkfs.bfs − make an SCO bfs filesystem
mkfs.bfs [−N nr-of-inodes] [−V volume-name] [−F fsname] device [size-in-blocks]
mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs file-system on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device).
The size-in-blocks parameter is the desired size of the file system, in blocks. If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be used.
−N |
Specify the desired number of inodes (at most 512). If nothing is specified some default number in the range 48-512 is picked depending on the size of the partition. |
−V volume-label
Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used.
−F fsname
Specify the fsname. I have no idea if/where this is used.
−v |
Be verbose. |
The exit code returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong.
mkfs(8).
The mkfs.bfs command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
