Full Discussion: What filesystem does unix use?
Special Forums Hardware Filesystems, Disks and Memory What filesystem does unix use? Post 24259 by amol on Tuesday 9th of July 2002 06:52:19 AM

A program called mkfs can be used to 'format' with different file systems. mkfs takes different arguments on different flavours of unix. Checkout the local man page for exact description.

On linux, I used fdisk to make partition for a typical file system. fdisk on linux has a huge list of supported filesystem partitions it can make on hard drive.

Cheers,
Amol.

NAME

       filesystem - event signalling that filesystems have been mounted

SYNOPSIS

       filesystem [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  filesystem	event  is  generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all filesystems listed in fstab(5).  mountall(8) emits
       this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with other activity.

EXAMPLE

       A service that wishes to be running once filesystems are mounted might use:

	      start on filesystem

SEE ALSO

       mounting(7) mounted(7) virtual-filesystems(7) local-filesystems(7) remote-filesystems(7) all-swaps(7)
