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.
-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
Output version information and
exit. Option -V only works as
--version when it is the only option.
