DESCRIPTION
|
mkreiserfs creates a Linux ReiserFS filesystem on a
device (usually a disk partition). |
|
is the special file corresponding to a device or to a
partition (e.g /dev/hdXX for an IDE disk partition or
/dev/sdXX for a SCSI disk partition). |
|
is the size in blocks of the filesystem. If omitted,
mkreiserfs will automatically set it. |
OPTIONS
|
N is block size in bytes. It may only be set to a
power of 2 within the 512-8192 interval. |
|
HASH specifies which hash function will sort the
names in the directories. Choose from r5, rupasov, or tea.
r5 is the default one. |
|
FORMAT specifies the format for the new filsystem.
Choose format 3.5 or 3.6. If none is specified
mkreiserfs will create format 3.6 if running kernel
is 2.4 or higher, and format 3.5 if kernel 2.2 is running,
and will refuse creation under all other
kernels. |
|
Sets the Universally Unique IDentifier of the filesystem to
UUID (see also uuidgen(8)). The format of the
UUID is a series of hex digits separated by hypthens,
e.g.: "c1b9d5a2-f162-11cf-9ece-0020afc76f16". If
the option is skipped, mkreiserfs will by default
generate a new UUID. |
|
Sets the volume label of the filesystem. LABEL can at
most be 16 characters long; if it is longer than 16
characters, mkreiserfs will truncate it. |
|
Sets mkreiserfs to work quietly without producing
messages, progress or questions. It is useful, but only for
use by end users, if you run mkreiserfs in a
script. |
|
-j | --journal-device FILE |
|
FILE is the name of the block device on which is to
be places the filesystem journal. |
|
N is the offset where the journal starts when it is
to be on a separate device. Default is 0. N has no
effect when the journal is to be on the host
device. |
|
N is the size of the journal in blocks. When the
journal is to be on a separate device, its size defaults to
the number of blocks that the device has. When journal is to
be on the host device, its size defaults to 8193 and the
maximal possible size is 32749 (for blocksize 4k). The
minimum size is 513 blocks (whether the journal is on the
host or on a separate device). |
|
-t | --transaction-max-size
N |
|
N is the maximum transaction size parameter for the
journal. The default, and max possible, value is 1024
blocks. It should be less than half the size of the journal.
If specified incorrectly, it will automatically be
adjusted. |
|
File is the file name of the file that contains the
list of blocks to be marked as bad on the filesystem. This
list can be created by /sbin/badblocks -b block-size
device. |
|
Forces mkreiserfs to continue even when the device is
the whole disk, looks mounted, or is not a block device. If
-f is specified more than once, it allows the user to
avoid asking for confirmation. |
|
Sets mkreiserfs to print debugging information during
mkreiserfs. |
|
Prints the version and then exits. |
