mkfs(8) System Manager's Manual mkfs(8)
Name
mkfs - construct a file system
Syntax
/etc/mkfs [ -N ] special size [ nsect ] [ ntrack ] [ blksize ]
[ fragsize ] [ ncpg ] [ minfree] [ rps ] [ nbpi ] [ opt ]
Description
File systems are normally created with the command.
The -N option is used to run in no update mode. In this mode, will not write to
The command constructs a file system by writing on the special file special. The numeric size specifies the number of sectors in the file
system. The command builds a file system with a root directory and a lost+found directory. For further information, see The number of i-
nodes is calculated as a function of the file system size. No boot program is initialized by For further information, see
When the on-disks inodes of the file system are written, each contains a unique number in its generation number field. This number
uniquely identifies each inode in a file system.
The optional arguments allow fine tune control over the parameters of the file system. The nsect argument specifies the number of sectors
per track on the disk. The ntrack argument specifies the number of tracks per cylinder on the disk. The blksize argument gives the pri-
mary block size for files on the file system. It must be a power of two, currently selected from 4096 or 8192. The fragsize argument
gives the fragment size for files on the file system. The fragsize argument represents the smallest amount of disk space that will be
allocated to a file. It must be a power of two currently selected from the range 512 to 8192. The ncpg argument specifies the number of
disk cylinders per cylinder group. This number must be in the range 1 to 32. The minfree argument specifies the minimum percentage of
free disk space allowed. Once the file system capacity reaches this threshold, only the superuser is allowed to allocate disk blocks. The
default value is 10%. If a disk does not revolve at 60 revolutions per second, the rps parameter may be specified. Users with special
demands for their file systems are referred to ``A Fast File System for UNIX'' in the ULTRIX Supplementary Documents, Volume 3: System Man-
ager for a discussion of the tradeoffs in using different configurations. The nbpi argument specifies the number (ratio) of bytes per
inode. The default is 2048 bytes. The opt argument is used to indicate the whether the file system should optimize for space or time.
The opt argument can be assigned a value of s or t.
Restrictions
If is invoked without arguments, the RISC machines dump core instead of returning an error.
