mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem


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

       -N     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 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.
