q1: There are 34 sectors of 512 bytes, but, assuming 4096 bytes actual sectors, that makes 34 * 512 / 4096 = 4.25 sectors (of 4096 bytes each).
q2: Yes I did.
Hi jlliagre,
Thanks for the confirmation. I am sorry to ask, i got a 6.4 SSD but just appear to be 5.82TB usable.
Using auto-configure, the partition table look as below.
From 0 to 12502430343 in partition 0, the amount of sectors 12502430344 seems to be more then the total available sectors 12502430317
Still got no idea where did i lost my 800GB of space...

Here is a script for automatic labeling of previously unlabeled disks.
Other methods exist (format -f cmd_file), but I like this because it's all in one place.

Is there a way to determine the number of available spare sectors on a disk ? as it may be useful for notifying a user to take a backup of the disk before it runs into a medium error. (6 Replies)
Hello, I need advice on how to check if started processes are finished in perl, here's explanation :

Hi all,
I'm kind of new to programming in Linux & c/c++. I'm currently writing a FileManager using Ubuntu Linux(10.10) for Learning Purposes. I've got started on this project by creating a loopback device to be used as my virtual hard disk. After creating the loop back hard disk and mounting it... (23 Replies)

newfs_exfat
NEWFS_EXFAT(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NEWFS_EXFAT(8)NAME
newfs_exfat -- construct a new ExFAT file system
SYNOPSIS
newfs_exfat [-N] [-R] [-I volume-serial-number] [-S bytes-per-sector] [-a sectors-per-FAT] [-b bytes-per-cluster] [-c sectors-per-cluster]
[-n number-of-FATs] [-s total-sectors] [-v volume-name] special
DESCRIPTION
The newfs_exfat utility creates an ExFAT file system on device special. If the -R option is not given, and the device is already formatted
as ExFAT, it will preserve the partition offset, bytes per cluster, FAT offset and size, number of FATs, offset to start of clusters, number
of clusters, volume serial number, and volume name (label). If a volume name was specified via the -v option, that name is used instead of
the volume's previous name.
The options are as follow:
-N Don't create a file system: just print out parameters.
-R Do not check whether the device is currently formatted as ExFAT. Always derive the partition offset, bytes per cluster, FAT offset
and size, and offset to start of clusters based on the device type and size.
-I volume-serial-number
Volume ID, a 32-bit integer.
-S bytes-per-sector
Number of bytes per sector. Acceptable values are powers of 2 in the range 512 through 4096.
-a sectors-per-FAT
Number of sectors per FAT.
-b bytes-per-cluster
File system block size (bytes per cluster). Acceptable values are powers of 2 in the range 512 through 33554432.
-c sectors-per-cluster
Sectors per cluster. Acceptable values are powers of 2 in the range 1 through 65536.
-n number-of-FATs
Number of FATs. Acceptable values are 1 or 2. The default is 1. Using any value other than 1 is discouraged, and may be incompati-
ble with other devices.
-s total-sectors
The total number of sectors in the device.
-v volume-name
Volume name (label). The name will be converted to UTF-16, and must be no longer than 11 UTF-16 characters. ASCII control charac-
ters and some punctuation characters are not allowed (similar to DOS 8.3-style names). NOTE: The volume name may be an empty (zero-
length) string.
EXAMPLES
newfs_exfat /dev/disk0s1
Create a file system, using default parameters (or existing ExFAT layout), on /dev/rdisk0s1.
newfs_exfat -v Hello disk2s1
Create a file system with the name "Hello" on /dev/rdisk2s1.
SEE ALSO mount_exfat(8), fsck_exfat(8)DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is 0 on success and 1 on error.
HISTORY
The newfs_exfat command appeared in Mac OS X 10.6.3.
