SYNOPSIS

mkfs.bfs [ -N nr-of-inodes ] [ -V volume-name ] [ -F fsname ] device [ size-in-blocks ]

DESCRIPTION

mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs file-system on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device). The size-in-blocks parameter is the desired size of the file system, in blocks. If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be used.

OPTIONS

If nothing is specified some default number in the range 48-512 is picked depending on the size of the partition. -V volume-label Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used. -F fsname Specify the fsname. I have no idea if/where this is used. -v Be verbose. EXIT CODES The exit code returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong.
