System Administration Commands - Part 3

mkfs_udfs

- construct a udfs file system

Synopsis

mkfs -F udfs [generic_options] [-o specific_options] raw_device_file 
     [size]

Description

This is the universal disk format file system (udfs) -specific module of the mkfs command. mkfs constructs a udfs file system with a root directory.

Options

See mkfs(1M) for the list of supported generic_options.

The following options are supported:

-o specific_options

Specify a udfs-specific option. Specify udfs file system specific options in a comma-separated list with no intervening spaces. If invalid options are specified, a warning message is printed and the invalid options are ignored.

The following specific_options are available:

N

Print the file system parameters without actually creating the file system.

label=string

Specify the label to be written into the volume header structures. Specify string as the name of the label. If string is not specified, a default string is generated in the form of *NoLabel*.

Operands

The following operands are supported:

raw_device_file

Specify the disk partition on which to write.

size

Specify the number of 512-byte blocks in the file system.

Attributes

See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

ATTRIBUTE TYPE
ATTRIBUTE VALUE
Availability
system/file-system/udfs

See Also

fsck(1M),mkfs(1M), attributes(5)

Diagnostics

not currently a valid file system

The specified device does not contain a valid udfs file system.

Invalid size: larger than the partition size

Number of blocks given as parameter to create the file system is larger than the size of the device specified.

is mounted can't mkfs

Device is in use, cannot create file system when the device is in use.

preposterous size

Negative size parameter provided is invalid.

sector size must be between 512, 8192 bytes

Sector size given is not in the valid range.

Volume integrity sequence descriptors too long
File set descriptor too long. 

Not enough space to create volume integrity sequence or file set descriptor.

mkfs: argument out of range

One of the arguments is out of range.

mkfs: bad numeric arg

One of the arguments is potentially a bad numeric.

Notes

You can use lofiadm to create a file that appears to a mkfs command (for example, mkfs_pcfs or mkfs_ufs) as a raw device. You can then use a mkfs command to create a file system on that device. See lofiadm(1M) for examples of creating a UFS and a PC (FAT) file system on a device created by lofiadm.
