mkfs.bfs

MKFS.BFS(8)						       System Administration						       MKFS.BFS(8)

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.
