FDFORMAT !!!FDFORMAT NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS SEE ALSO AUTHOR ---- !!NAME fdformat - Low-level formats a floppy disk !!SYNOPSIS __fdformat [[ -n ]__ device !!DESCRIPTION __fdformat__ does a low level format on a floppy disk. ''device'' is usually one of the following (for floppy devices, the major = 2, and the minor is shown for informational purposes only): /dev/fd0d360 (minor = 4) /dev/fd0h1200 (minor = 8) /dev/fd0D360 (minor = 12) /dev/fd0H360 (minor = 12) /dev/fd0D720 (minor = 16) /dev/fd0H720 (minor = 16) /dev/fd0h360 (minor = 20) /dev/fd0h720 (minor = 24) /dev/fd0H1440 (minor = 28) /dev/fd1d360 (minor = 5) /dev/fd1h1200 (minor = 9) /dev/fd1D360 (minor = 13) /dev/fd1H360 (minor = 13) /dev/fd1D720 (minor = 17) /dev/fd1H720 (minor = 17) /dev/fd1h360 (minor = 21) /dev/fd1h720 (minor = 25) /dev/fd1H1440 (minor = 29) The generic floppy devices, /dev/fd0 and /dev/fd1, will fail to work with __fdformat__ when a non-standard format is being used, or if the format has not been autodetected earlier. In this case, use setfdprm(8) to load the disk parameters. !!OPTIONS __-n__ No verify. This option will disable the verification that is performed after the format. !!SEE ALSO fd(4), setfdprm(8), mkfs(8), emkfs(8) !!AUTHOR Werner Almesberger (almesber@nessie.cs.id.ethz.ch) ----
