NAME<\/a> mkfs \u2212 build a Linux filesystem<\/p>\n mkfs<\/b> [options] [\u2212t<\/b> type<\/i>] [fs-options<\/i>] device<\/i> [size<\/i>]<\/p>\n This mkfs frontend is deprecated in favour of filesystem specific mkfs. mkfs<\/b> is used to build a Linux filesystem on a device, usually a hard disk partition. The device<\/i> argument is either the device name (e.g., \/dev\/hda1<\/i>, \/dev\/sdb2<\/i>), or a regular file that shall contain the filesystem. The size<\/i> argument is the number of blocks to be used for the filesystem.<\/p>\n The exit status returned by mkfs<\/b> is 0 on success and 1 on failure.<\/p>\n In actuality, mkfs<\/b> is simply a front-end for the various filesystem builders (mkfs.<\/b>fstype<\/i>) available under Linux. The filesystem-specific builder is searched for via your PATH environment setting only. Please see the filesystem-specific builder manual pages for further details.<\/p>\n \u2212t<\/b>, \u2212\u2212type<\/b> type<\/i><\/p>\n Specify the type<\/i> of filesystem to be built. If not specified, the default filesystem type (currently ext2) is used.<\/p>\n fs-options<\/i><\/p>\n Filesystem-specific options to be passed to the real filesystem builder.<\/p>\n \u2212V<\/b>, \u2212\u2212verbose<\/b><\/p>\n Produce verbose output, including all filesystem-specific commands that are executed. Specifying this option more than once inhibits execution of any filesystem-specific commands. This is really only useful for testing.<\/p>\n \u2212V<\/b>, \u2212\u2212version<\/b><\/p>\n Display version information and exit. (Option \u2212V<\/b> will display version information only when it is the only parameter, otherwise it will work as \u2212\u2212verbose<\/b>.)<\/p>\n \u2212h<\/b>, \u2212\u2212help<\/b><\/p>\n Display help text and exit.<\/p>\n All generic options must precede and not be combined with filesystem-specific options. Some filesystem-specific programs do not automatically detect the device size and require the size<\/i> parameter to be specified.<\/p>\n David Engel (david@ods.com) fs<\/b>(5), badblocks<\/b>(8), fsck<\/b>(8), mkdosfs<\/b>(8), mke2fs<\/b>(8), mkfs.bfs<\/b>(8), mkfs.ext2<\/b>(8), mkfs.ext3<\/b>(8), mkfs.ext4<\/b>(8), mkfs.minix<\/b>(8), mkfs.msdos<\/b>(8), mkfs.vfat<\/b>(8), mkfs.xfs<\/b>(8)<\/p>\n The mkfs command is part of the util-linux package and is available from https:\/\/www.kernel.org\/pub\/linux\/utils\/util-linux\/.<\/p>\n mkfs \u2212 build a Linux filesystem <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[5,52,4,40],"class_list":["post-3848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-8-administracion-del-sistema","tag-5","tag-administracion","tag-man8","tag-mkfs"],"gutentor_comment":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3848\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
