- <h3>Name</h3>
- mksfs - create an SFS filesystem
- <h3>Synopsis</h3>
- /sbin/mksfs <em>raw-device</em> <em>volname</em>
- <br>
- host-mksfs <em>disk-image-file</em> <em>volname</em>
- <h3>Description</h3>
- mksfs creates a new SFS filesystem on the specified device or disk
- image. The volume name is set to <em>volname</em>.
- <p>
- If mksfs is used under OS/161, the first form should be used, where
- <em>raw-device</em> is a raw device name (such as "lhd1raw:"). Don't
- use a device that's already mounted (or being used for swap).
- <p>
- mksfs can also be used on the System/161 host OS, in which case the
- second form should be used. The host-compiled version of mksfs knows
- how to deal with the header on System/161 disk images and does the
- right thing.
- <p>
- Note that as of this writing host-mksfs cannot create disk image
- files. This is a bug and will hopefully be addressed eventually.
- <h3>Requirements</h3>
- mksfs uses the following system calls:
- <ul>
- <li> <A HREF=../syscall/open.html>open</A>
- <li> <A HREF=../syscall/read.html>read</A>
- <li> <A HREF=../syscall/write.html>write</A>
- <li> <A HREF=../syscall/lseek.html>lseek</A>
- <li> <A HREF=../syscall/fstat.html>fstat</A>
- <li> <A HREF=../syscall/close.html>close</A>
- <li> <A HREF=../syscall/_exit.html>_exit</A>
- </ul>
- mksfs should function properly once the file system assignment is
- complete. You will likely need to make some changes to it in the
- course of doing that assignment.
