mkfs.reiser4
is reiser4 filesystem creation program. It is based on new libreiser4
library. Since libreiser4 is fully plugin-based, we have the potential
to create not just reiser4 partitions, but any filesystem or database
format, which is based on balanced trees.
COMMON OPTIONS
-V, --version
prints program version.
-?, -h, --help
prints program help.
-y, --yes
assumes an answer 'yes' to all questions.
-f, --force
forces mkfs to use whole disk, not block device or mounted partition.
MKFS OPTIONS
-b, --block-size N
block size to be used (architecture page size by default)
-L, --label LABEL
volume label to be used
-U, --uuid UUID
universally unique identifier to be used
-s, --lost-found
forces mkfs to create lost+found directory.
PLUGIN OPTIONS
-p, --print-profile
prints the plugin profile. This is the set of default plugins used for all
parts of a filesystem -- format, nodes, files, directories, hashes, etc. If
--override is specified, then prints modified plugins.
-l, --print-plugins
prints all plugins libreiser4 know about.
-o, --override TYPE=PLUGIN, ...
overrides the default plugin of the type "TYPE" by the plugin "PLUGIN"
in the plugin profile.
Examples:
assign short key plugin to "key" field in order to create filesystem
with short keys policy:
