NAME
mkfs.reiser4 - the program for creating reiser4 filesystem.
SYNOPSIS
mkfs.reiser4 [ options ] FILE1 FILE2 ... [ size[K|M|G] ]
DESCRIPTION
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. -d, --discard tells mkfs to discard given device before creating the filesystem (for solid state drives).
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: mkfs.reiser4 -yf -o key=key_short /dev/hda2
