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.
--lock[=mode]
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.
-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
Print version and exit. Option -V only works as --version when it is the only option.
EXIT STATUS
The exit status returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong.
