.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B mke2fs
|
|
is used to create a Linux second extended file system on a device (usually
|
|
a disk partition).
|
|
.br
|
|
.I device
|
|
is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g /dev/hdXX).
|
|
.br
|
|
.I blocks-count
|
|
is the number of blocks on the device. If omitted,
|
|
.B mke2fs
|
|
automagically figures the file system size.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I -b block-size
|
|
Specify the size of blocks in bytes.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I -c
|

fast read-only test.
|

Specify the size of fragments in bytes.
|
|
.TP

|
bytes of space on the disk. This value defaults to 4096 bytes.
|
|
.I bytes-per-inode
|
|
must be at least 1024.
|
|
.TP

.I -l filename
|
|
Read the bad blocks list from

|
|
defaults to 5%.
|
|
.\" .TP
|
|
.\" .I -t test

|
.B mke2fs
|
|
accepts the -f option but currently ignores it because the second
|
|
extended file system does not support fragments yet.
