Set i/o option

How do we set i/o option to direct or buffered i/o using mkfs command? I mean what is the option that is to be used..
Like that block size can be mentioned by using -o bsize=<>


Thanks in advance.

I doubt such an option exists and I guess that would make no significant change anyway. What is the problem you are trying to solve ?
You might want to use ZFS. It has no mkfs and doesn't need one.

Thanks for your reply jilliagre..

There was actually client request and wanted to set buffered i/o instead of direct i/o which is by default...And yes realised it later that no such option exists with mkfs .. It is with the mount command

and the syntax for that would be :

mount -o convosync=buffered/direct
