NAME
mkfs (xfs) - construct an xfs file system
SYNOPSIS
mkfs [-F xfs] [generic_options] [specific_options] special size
DESCRIPTION
mkfs constructs a file system. generic_options are options
supported by the generic mkfs command. specific_options are
options supported by the xfs-specific module of the mkfs
command.
mkfs constructs a file system by writing on the special file
special unless the -o N flag has been specified. The
numeric size specifies the number of sectors in the file
system. mkfs builds a file system with a root directory and
a default allocation of 32 inodes. An unspecified number of
additional inodes are created as required until there is no
available space. No boot program is initialized by mkfs.
The options are:
-F xfs Specify the xfs file system type.
-b blocksize
blocksize is the file system's block size in bytes;
one of: 512, 1024, 1k, 1K, 2024, 2k, 2K, 4096, 4k,
4K, 8192 (the default), 8k or 8K.
-e extsize
extsize is the file system's preferred I/O size in
kilobytes; one of 64k, 64K (the default), 128k, 128K,
256k, 256K, 512k, 512K, 1024k, or 1024K, but extsize
cannot exceed 128*blocksize.
-f fragsize
fragsize is the file system's fragment size in bytes;
one of: 512 (the default), 1024, 1k, 1K, 2024, 2k,
or 2K.
-i inodes
inodes specifies the initial inode allocation. It is
rounded up to a multiple of 32.
-m Report various information from the superblock.
-o N Do not write the file system to the special file.
This option gives all the information needed to
create a file system but does not create it.
