!!DESCRIPTION |

|
22 |
|
| |
|
23 |
__mkfs.minix__ creates a Linux MINIX file-system on a |
| |
|
24 |
device (usually a disk partition). |
| |
|
25 |
|
| |
|
26 |
|
| |
|
27 |
The ''device'' is usually of the following |
| |
|
28 |
form: |
| |
|
29 |
|
| |
|
30 |
|
| |
|
31 |
/dev/hda[[1-8] (IDE disk 1) |
| |
|
32 |
/dev/hdb[[1-8] (IDE disk 2) |
| |
|
33 |
/dev/sda[[1-8] (SCSI disk 1) |
| |
|
34 |
/dev/sdb[[1-8] (SCSI disk 2) |
| |
|
35 |
The ''size-in-blocks'' parameter is the desired size of the file system, in blocks. It is present only for backwards compatibility. If omitted the size will be determined automatically. Only block counts strictly greater than 10 and strictly less than 65536 are allowed. |
