Examples--Formatting a UFS Diskette
Following are several examples of UFS formatting. The first example formats a 1.44 Mbyte diskette on a 1.44 Mbyte drive:
$ fdformat -v -U Formatting 1.44 M in /vol/dev/rdiskette0/unformatted Press return to start formatting floppy. [ Return ] ....................................................... vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv |
The following example performs the same job, but assigns the diskette the name myfiles:
$ fdformat -v -U -b myfiles Formatting 1.44 M in /vol/dev/rdiskette0/unformatted Press return to start formatting floppy. [ Return ] ....................................................... vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv |
The following example formats a 720Kbyte diskette on a 1.44 Mbyte drive, and names it myfiles:
$ fdformat -v -U -D -b myfiles Formatting 720 KB in /vol/dev/rdiskette0/unformatted Press return to start formatting floppy. [ Return ] ....................................................... vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv |
