DESCRIPTION

14       This  is  the universal disk format file system (udfs) -specific module
15       of the mkfs command. mkfs constructs a udfs file  system  with  a  root
16       directory.
17

OPTIONS

19       See mkfs(1M) for the list of supported generic_options.
20
21
22       The following options are supported:
23
24       -o specific_options    Specify  a  udfs-specific  option.  Specify udfs
25                              file system specific options  in  a  comma-sepa‐
26                              rated   list  with  no  intervening  spaces.  If
27                              invalid options are specified, a warning message
28                              is printed and the invalid options are ignored.
29
30                              The following specific_options are available:
31
32                              N               Print the file system parameters
33                                              without  actually  creating  the
34                                              file system.
35
36
37                              label=string    Specify  the label to be written
38                                              into the  volume  header  struc‐
39                                              tures.  Specify  string  as  the
40                                              name of the label. If string  is
41                                              not  specified, a default string
42                                              is  generated  in  the  form  of
43                                              *NoLabel*.

NOTES

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