mkfs.bfs − make an SCO bfs filesystem
mkfs.bfs [options] device [block-count]
mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs filesystem on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device).
The block-count parameter is the desired size of the filesystem, in blocks. If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be used.
−N, −−inodes number
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, −−vname label
Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used.
−F, −−fname name
Specify the filesystem name. I have no idea if/where this is used.
−v, −−verbose
Explain what is being done.
−c |
This option is silently ignored. |
|||
−l |
This option is silently ignored. |
−h, −−help
Display help text and exit.
−V, −−version
Output version information and exit. Option −V only works as −−version when it is the only option.
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 package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
