| 13 | == NAME | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | == SYNOPSIS | |
| 18 | ||
| 4d297435 | 19 | *mkfs.bfs* [options] _device_ [_block-count_] |
| c6a568fc MB |
20 | |
| 21 | == DESCRIPTION | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | *mkfs.bfs* creates an SCO bfs filesystem on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device). | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | The _block-count_ parameter is the desired size of the filesystem, in blocks. If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be used. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | == OPTIONS | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | *-N*, *--inodes* _number_:: | |
| 299604dd | 30 | 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. |
| c6a568fc MB |
31 | |
| 32 | *-V*, *--vname* _label_:: | |
| 299604dd | 33 | Specify the volume _label_. I have no idea if/where this is used. |
| c6a568fc MB |
34 | |
| 35 | *-F*, *--fname* _name_:: | |
| 299604dd | 36 | Specify the filesystem _name_. I have no idea if/where this is used. |
| c6a568fc | 37 | |
| cc4fefc6 | 38 | *--lock*[=_mode_]:: |
| 39 | Use exclusive BSD lock for device or file it operates. The optional argument _mode_ can be *yes*, *no* (or 1 and 0) or *nonblock*. If the _mode_ argument is omitted, it defaults to *yes*. This option overwrites environment variable *$LOCK_BLOCK_DEVICE*. The default is not to use any lock at all, but it's recommended to avoid collisions with *systemd-udevd*(8) or other tools. | |
| 40 | ||
| c6a568fc | 41 | *-v*, *--verbose*:: |
| 299604dd | 42 | Explain what is being done. |
| c6a568fc MB |
43 | |
| 44 | *-c*:: | |
| 299604dd | 45 | This option is silently ignored. |
| c6a568fc MB |
46 | |
| 47 | *-l*:: | |
| 299604dd | 48 | This option is silently ignored. |

| 51 | Option *-V* only works as *--version* when it is the only option. | |

| 55 | The exit status returned by *mkfs.bfs* is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong. | |
