mkfs_ufs — Construct a UFS File System
Synopsis
/usr/sbin/mkfs -F ufs [generic-options][-o FSType-specific-options] raw-device-file [size]
Description
The UFS-specific module of mkfs builds a UFS file system with a root directory and a lost+found directory (see fsck(1M)).
Note
The UFS-specific mkfs is rarely run directly; use the newfs(1M) command instead.
raw-device-file indicates the disk partition to write on unless you have specified the -o n option or either the -V or -m generic options are passed from the generic mkfs module. size specifies the number of sectors in the file system. This argument must follow the raw-device-file argument and is required (even with -o N) unless you specify the -V or -m generic options.
