New to SCO UNIX
Hello everyone and thanks for your help in advance. Iama Windows Server administrator/programmer that has inheirited a SCO Unix 5.07 server running legacy applications. My first thought was to install the Unix OS on a separate test environment. However, I am in need of the most basic information to get started. If I log in to the production server under root, does this take me to the top level directory? How do I obtain the size of this directory in order to make the test environment similar? Finally, does copying all of the files in the root copy all of the programs to the other machine?
Sorry for the stupid questions. Any help getting me started would be greatly appreciated.

NAME
mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem
SYNOPSIS
mkfs.bfs [options] device [block-count]
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
-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
Display version information and exit. Option -V only works as --version when it is the only option.
EXIT CODES
The exit code returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong.
SEE ALSO
mkfs(8)
