I thought that X/Open owned UNIX and that was the basis of their action against this site for using unix.com.

Now I read (in the above link) that SCO says they own UNIX.

Does anyone know who actually owns UNIX?

The Open Group has published their answer to my question on one of their web sites. I have to say that I finally understand the difference between what The Open Group claims to own and what SCO claims to own.

Install SCO Openserver 6.0.0 on an IBM x3500 7977E6U

Even though IBM states that the x3500 server is Openserver 6.x compatible, it is still a bit of a trick to install SCO Openserver 6 to the machine because the standard method of installing the BTLD required to install the OS requires that the driver be written to a floppy which doesn't exist on...

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.
