.SH DESCRIPTION

.I Mkfs
|
|
|
|
|
builds a file system and copies specified files to it.
|
|
|
|
|
The prototype file tells which directories and files to copy to it.
|
|
|
|
|
If the prototype file cannot be opened, and its name is just a string of
|
|
|
|
|
digits, an empty file system will be made with the specified number of
|
|
|
|
|
blocks.
|
|
|
|
|
A sample prototype file follows.
|
|
|
|
|
The text following the \fI#\fR sign in the example below is comment.
|
|
|
|
|
In real prototype files, comments are not allowed.

The first entry on each line (except the first 3 and the $ lines, which
|
|
|
|
|
terminate directories) is the name the file or directory will get on the
|
|
|
|
|
new file system.
|
|
|
|
|
Next comes its mode, with the first character being
|
|
|
|
|
\fB\-dbc\fR for regular files, directories, block special files and character
|
|
|
|
|
special files, respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
The next two characters are used to specify the SETUID and SETGID bits, as
|
|
|
|
|
shown above.
|
|
|
|
|
The last three characters of the mode are the
|
|
|
|
|
.I rwx
|
|
|
|
|
protection bits.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
Following the mode are the uid and gid.
|
|
|
|
|
For special files, the major and minor devices are needed.

The maximum size of a file system is 1 Gb for a version 2 file system,
|
|
|
|
|
and 64 Mb for a version 1 file system. Alas the 8086
|
|
|
|
|
.I fsck
|
|
|
|
|
runs out of memory on a V2 file system larger than 128 Mb, so for the 8086
|
|

|

you have to limit yourself to file systems of that size.
