newfs_sysvbfs
NEWFS_SYSVBFS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NEWFS_SYSVBFS(8)
NAME
newfs_sysvbfs -- construct a new System V Boot File System
SYNOPSIS
newfs_sysvbfs [-FZ] [-s sectors] special
DESCRIPTION
newfs_sysvbfs builds a System V boot file system on the specified special. If it is a device, the size information will be taken from the
disk label and before running newfs_sysvbfs the disk must be labeled using disklabel(8); the proper fstype is ``SysVBFS''. Otherwise, the
size must be specified on the command line.
The following arguments are supported:
-F Create file system to a regular file.
-s sectors Create file system with specified number of disk sectors.
-Z Fill file with zeroes instead of creating a sparse file.
SEE ALSO
disklabel(5), disktab(5), disklabel(8), diskpart(8)
HISTORY
A newfs_sysvbfs command first appeared in NetBSD 4.0.
BUGS
The sysvbfs support is still experimental and there are few sanity checks.
