NAME
mkfs.jffs2 - Create a JFFS2 file system image from directorySYNOPSIS
mkfs.jffs2 [ -p,--pad[=SIZE] ] [ -r,-d,--root directory ] [ -s,--pagesize=SIZE ] [ -e,--eraseblock=SIZE ] [ -c,--cleanmarker=SIZE ] [ -n,--no-cleanmarkers ] [ -o,--output image.jffs2 ] [ -l,--little-endian ] [ -b,--big-endian ] [ -D,--devtable=FILE ] [ -f,--faketime ] [ -q,--squash ] [ -U,--squash-uids ] [ -P,--squash-perms ] [ --with-xattr ] [ --with-selinux ] [ --with-posix-acl ] [ -m,--compression-mode=MODE ] [ -x,--disable-compressor=NAME ] [ -X,--enable-compressor=NAME ] [ -y,--compressor-priority=PRIORITY:NAME ] [ -L,--list-compressors ] [ -t,--test-compression ] [ -h,--help ] [ -v,--verbose ] [ -V,--version ] [ -i,--incremental image.jffs2 ]DESCRIPTION
The program mkfs.jffs2 creates a JFFS2 (Second Journalling Flash File System) file system image and writes the resulting image to the file specified by the -o option or by default to the standard output, unless the standard output is a terminal device in which case mkfs.jffs2 will abort.The file system image is created using the files and directories contained in the directory specified by the option -r or the present directory, if the -r option is not specified.
Each block of the files to be placed into the file system image are compressed using one of the available compressors depending on the selected compression mode.
File systems are created with the same endianness as the host, unless the -b or -l options are specified. JFFS2 driver in the 2.4 Linux kernel only supported images having the same endianness as the CPU. As of 2.5.48, the kernel can be changed with a #define to accept images of the non-native endianness. Full bi-endian support in the kernel is not planned.
It is unlikely that JFFS2 images are useful except in conjuction with the MTD (Memory Technology Device) drivers in the Linux kernel, since the JFFS2 file system driver in the kernel requires MTD devices.
OPTIONS
Options that take SIZE arguments can be specified as either decimal (e.g., 65536), octal (0200000), or hexidecimal (0x1000).- -p, --pad[=SIZE]
- Pad output to SIZE bytes with 0xFF. If SIZE is not specified, the output is padded to the end of the final erase block.
- -r, -d, --root=DIR
- Build file system from directory DIR. The default is the current directory.
- -s, --pagesize=SIZE
- Use page size SIZE. The default is 4 KiB. This size is the maximum size of a data node. Set according to target system's memory management page size (NOTE: this is NOT related to NAND page size).
- -e, --eraseblock=SIZE
- Use erase block size SIZE. The default is 64 KiB. If you use a erase block size different than the erase block size of the target MTD device, JFFS2 may not perform optimally. If the SIZE specified is below 4096, the units are assumed to be KiB.
- -c, --cleanmarker=SIZE
- Write 'CLEANMARKER' nodes with the size specified. It is not normally appropriate to specify a size other than the default 12 bytes.
- -n, --no-cleanmarkers
- Do not write 'CLEANMARKER' nodes to the beginning of each erase block. This option can be useful for creating JFFS2 images for use on NAND flash, and for creating images which are to be used on a variety of hardware with differing eraseblock sizes.
- -o, --output=FILE
- Write JFFS2 image to file FILE. Default is the standard output.
- -l, --little-endian
- Create a little-endian JFFS2 image. Default is to make an image with the same endianness as the host.
- -b, --big-endian
- Create a big-endian JFFS2 image. Default is to make an image with the same endianness as the host.
- -D, --devtable=FILE
- Use the named FILE as a device table file, for including devices and changing permissions in the created image when the user does not have appropriate permissions to create them on the file system used as source.
- -f, --faketime
- Change all file timestamps to '0' for regression testing.
- -q, --squash
- Squash permissions and owners, making all files be owned by root and removing write permission for 'group' and 'other'.
- -U, --squash-uids
- Squash owners making all files be owned by root.
- -P, --squash-perms
- Squash permissions, removing write permission for 'group' and 'other'.
- --with-xattr
- Enables xattr, stuff all xattr entries into jffs2 image file.
- --with-selinux
- Enables xattr, stuff only SELinux Labels into jffs2 image file.
- --with-posix-acl
- Enable xattr, stuff only POSIX ACL entries into jffs2 image file.
- -m, --compression-mode=MODE
- Set the default compression mode. The default mode is priority which tries the compressors in a predefinied order and chooses the first successful one. The alternatives are: none (mkfs will not compress) and size (mkfs will try all compressor and chooses the one which have the smallest result).
- -x, --disable-compressor=NAME
- Disable a compressor. Use -L to see the list of the available compressors and their default states.
- -X, --enable-compressor=NAME
- Enable a compressor. Use -L to see the list of the available compressors and their default states.
- -y, --compressor-priority=PRIORITY:NAME
- Set the priority of a compressor. Use -L to see the list of the available compressors and their default priority. Priorities are used by priority compression mode.
- -L, --list-compressors
- Show the list of the available compressors and their states.
- -t, --test-compression
- Call decompress after every compress - and compare the result with the original data -, and some other check.
- -h, --help
- Display help text.
- -v, --verbose
- Verbose operation.
- -V, --version
- Display version information.
- -i, --incremental=FILE
-
Generate an appendage image for FILE. If FILE is written to flash and flash
is appended with the output, then it seems as if it was one thing.
LIMITATIONS
The format and grammar of the device table file does not allow it to create symbolic links when the symbolic links are not already present in the root working directory.However, symbolic links may be specified in the device table file using the l type for the purposes of setting their permissions and ownership.
BUGS
JFFS2 limits device major and minor numbers to 8 bits each. Some consider this a bug.mkfs.jffs2 does not properly handle hard links in the input directory structure. Currently, hard linked files will be expanded to multiple identical files in the output image.

NAME
mkfs - build a Linux filesystemSYNOPSIS
mkfs [options] [-t type] [fs-options] device [size]DESCRIPTION
This mkfs frontend is deprecated in favour of filesystem specific mkfs.<type> utils.mkfs is used to build a Linux filesystem on a device, usually a hard disk partition. The device argument is either the device name (e.g. /dev/hda1, /dev/sdb2), or a regular file that shall contain the filesystem. The size argument is the number of blocks to be used for the filesystem.
The exit code returned by mkfs is 0 on success and 1 on failure.
In actuality, mkfs is simply a front-end for the various filesystem builders (mkfs.fstype) available under Linux. The filesystem-specific builder is searched for via your PATH environment setting only. Please see the filesystem-specific builder manual pages for further details.
OPTIONS
- -t, --type type
- Specify the type of filesystem to be built. If not specified, the default filesystem type (currently ext2) is used.
- fs-options
- Filesystem-specific options to be passed to the real filesystem builder.
- -V, --verbose
- Produce verbose output, including all filesystem-specific commands that are executed. Specifying this option more than once inhibits execution of any filesystem-specific commands. This is really only useful for testing.
- -V, --version
- Display version information and exit. (Option -V will display version information only when it is the only parameter, otherwise it will work as --verbose.)
- -h, --help
- Display help text and exit.
BUGS
All generic options must precede and not be combined with filesystem-specific options. Some filesystem-specific programs do not automatically detect the device size and require the size parameter to be specified.AUTHORS

MKFS.FAT
Section: Maintenance Commands (8)Updated: 2016-01-25
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
mkfs.fat - create an MS-DOS filesystem under LinuxSYNOPSIS
mkfs.fat [OPTIONS] DEVICE [BLOCK-COUNT]DESCRIPTION
mkfs.fat is used to create an MS-DOS filesystem under Linux on a device (usually a disk partition). DEVICE is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g. /dev/sdXX). BLOCK-COUNT is the number of blocks on the device. If omitted, mkfs.fat automatically determines the filesystem size.OPTIONS
- -a
- Normally, for any filesystem except very small ones, mkfs.fat will align all the data structures to cluster size, to make sure that as long as the partition is properly aligned, so will all the data structures in the filesystem. This option disables alignment; this may provide a handful of additional clusters of storage at the expense of a significant performance degradation on RAIDs, flash media or large-sector hard disks.
- -A
- Use Atari variation of the MS-DOS filesystem. This is default if mkfs.fat is run on an Atari, then this option turns off Atari format. There are some differences when using Atari format: If not directed otherwise by the user, mkfs.fat will always use 2 sectors per cluster, since GEMDOS doesn't like other values very much. It will also obey the maximum number of sectors GEMDOS can handle. Larger filesystems are managed by raising the logical sector size. Under Atari format, an Atari-compatible serial number for the filesystem is generated, and a 12 bit FAT is used only for filesystems that have one of the usual floppy sizes (720k, 1.2M, 1.44M, 2.88M), a 16 bit FAT otherwise. This can be overridden with the -F option. Some PC-specific boot sector fields aren't written, and a boot message (option -m) is ignored.
- -b SECTOR-OF-BACKUP
- Selects the location of the backup boot sector for FAT32. Default depends on number of reserved sectors, but usually is sector 6. The backup must be within the range of reserved sectors.
- -c
- Check the device for bad blocks before creating the filesystem.
- -C
- Create the file given as DEVICE on the command line, and write the to-be-created filesystem to it. This can be used to create the new filesystem in a file instead of on a real device, and to avoid using dd in advance to create a file of appropriate size. With this option, the BLOCK-COUNT must be given, because otherwise the intended size of the filesystem wouldn't be known. The file created is a sparse file, which actually only contains the meta-data areas (boot sector, FATs, and root directory). The data portions won't be stored on the disk, but the file nevertheless will have the correct size. The resulting file can be copied later to a floppy disk or other device, or mounted through a loop device.
- -D DRIVE-NUMBER
- Specify the BIOS drive number to be stored in the FAT boot sector. This value is usually 0x80 for hard disks and 0x00 for floppy devices or partitions to be used for floppy emulation.
- -f NUMBER-OF-FATS
- Specify the number of file allocation tables in the filesystem. The default is 2.
- -F FAT-SIZE
- Specifies the type of file allocation tables used (12, 16 or 32 bit). If nothing is specified, mkfs.fat will automatically select between 12, 16 and 32 bit, whatever fits better for the filesystem size.
- -h NUMBER-OF-HIDDEN-SECTORS
- Select the number of hidden sectors in the volume. Apparently some digital cameras get indigestion if you feed them a CF card without such hidden sectors, this option allows you to satisfy them.
- -i VOLUME-ID
- Sets the volume ID of the newly created filesystem; VOLUME-ID is a 32-bit hexadecimal number (for example, 2e24ec82). The default is a number which depends on the filesystem creation time.
- -I
- It is typical for fixed disk devices to be partitioned so, by default, you are not permitted to create a filesystem across the entire device. mkfs.fat will complain and tell you that it refuses to work. This is different when using MO disks. One doesn't always need partitions on MO disks. The filesystem can go directly to the whole disk. Under other OSes this is known as the 'superfloppy' format. This switch will force mkfs.fat to work properly.
- -l FILENAME
- Read the bad blocks list from FILENAME.
- -m MESSAGE-FILE
- Sets the message the user receives on attempts to boot this filesystem without having properly installed an operating system. The message file must not exceed 418 bytes once line feeds have been converted to carriage return-line feed combinations, and tabs have been expanded. If the filename is a hyphen (-), the text is taken from standard input.
- -M FAT-MEDIA-TYPE
- Specify the media type to be stored in the FAT boot sector. This value is usually 0xF8 for hard disks and is 0xF0 or a value from 0xF9 to 0xFF for floppies or partitions to be used for floppy emulation.
- -n VOLUME-NAME
- Sets the volume name (label) of the filesystem. The volume name can be up to 11 characters long. The default is no label.
- -r ROOT-DIR-ENTRIES
- Select the number of entries available in the root directory. The default is 112 or 224 for floppies and 512 for hard disks.
- -R NUMBER-OF-RESERVED-SECTORS
- Select the number of reserved sectors. With FAT32 format at least 2 reserved sectors are needed, the default is 32. Otherwise the default is 1 (only the boot sector).
- -s SECTORS-PER-CLUSTER
- Specify the number of disk sectors per cluster. Must be a power of 2, i.e. 1, 2, 4, 8, ... 128.
- -S LOGICAL-SECTOR-SIZE
- Specify the number of bytes per logical sector. Must be a power of 2 and greater than or equal to 512, i.e. 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, or 32768. Values larger than 4096 are not conforming to the FAT file system specification and may not work everywhere.
- -v
- Verbose execution.
- --invariant
- Use constants for normally randomly generated or time based data such as volume ID and creation time. Multiple runs of mkfs.fat on the same device create identical results with this option. Its main purpose is testing mkfs.fat.
- --help
- Display option summary and exit.
BUGS
mkfs.fat can not create boot-able filesystems. This isn't as easy as you might think at first glance for various reasons and has been discussed a lot already. mkfs.fat simply will not support it ;)SEE ALSO

MKFS.CRAMFS
Section: System Administration (8)Updated: April 2013
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
mkfs.cramfs - make compressed ROM file systemSYNOPSIS
mkfs.cramfs [options] directory fileDESCRIPTION
Files on cramfs file systems are zlib-compressed one page at a time to allow random read access. The metadata is not compressed, but is expressed in a terse representation that is more space-efficient than conventional file systems.The file system is intentionally read-only to simplify its design; random write access for compressed files is difficult to implement. cramfs ships with a utility (mkcramfs) to pack files into new cramfs images.
File sizes are limited to less than 16 MB.
Maximum file system size is a little under 272 MB. (The last file on the file system must begin before the 256 MB block, but can extend past it.)
ARGUMENTS
The directory is simply the root of the directory tree that we want to generate a compressed filesystem out of.The file will contain the cram file system, which later can be mounted.
OPTIONS
- -v
- Enable verbose messaging.
- -E
- Treat all warnings as errors, which are reflected as command return value.
- -b blocksize
- Use defined block size, which has to be divisible by page size.
- -e edition
- Use defined file system edition number in superblock.
- -N big, little, host
- Use defined endianness. Value defaults to host.
- -i file
- Insert a file to cramfs file system.
- -n name
- Set name of the cramfs file system.
- -p
- Pad by 512 bytes for boot code.
- -s
- This option is ignored. Originally the -s turned on directory entry sorting.
- -z
- Make explicit holes.
- -h, --help
- Display help text and exit.
- -V, --version
- Display version information and exit.
EXIT STATUS
-
- 0
- success
- 8
- operation error, such as unable to allocate memory

MKFS.MINIX
Section: System Administration (8)Updated: June 2015
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
mkfs.minix - make a Minix filesystemSYNOPSIS
mkfs.minix [options] device [size-in-blocks]DESCRIPTION
mkfs.minix creates a Linux MINIX filesystem on a device (usually a disk partition).The device is usually of the following form:
- /dev/hda[1-8] (IDE disk 1) /dev/hdb[1-8] (IDE disk 2) /dev/sda[1-8] (SCSI disk 1) /dev/sdb[1-8] (SCSI disk 2)
The device may be a block device or a image file of one, but this is not enforced. Expect not much fun on a character device :-).
The size-in-blocks parameter is the desired size of the file system, in blocks. It is present only for backwards compatibility. If omitted the size will be determined automatically. Only block counts strictly greater than 10 and strictly less than 65536 are allowed.
OPTIONS
- -c, --check
- Check the device for bad blocks before creating the filesystem. If any are found, the count is printed.
- -n, --namelength length
- Specify the maximum length of filenames. Currently, the only allowable values are 14 and 30 for file system versions 1 and 2. Version 3 allows only value 60. The default is 30.
- -i, --inodes number
- Specify the number of inodes for the filesystem.
- -l, --badblocks filename
- Read the list of bad blocks from filename. The file has one bad-block number per line. The count of bad blocks read is printed.
- -1
- Make a Minix version 1 filesystem. This is the default.
- -2, -v
- Make a Minix version 2 filesystem.
- -3
- Make a Minix version 3 filesystem.
- -V, --version
- Display version information and exit. The long option cannot be combined with other options.
- -h, --help
- Display help text and exit.
EXIT CODES
The exit code returned by mkfs.minix is one of the following:- 0
- No errors
- 8
- Operational error
- 16
- Usage or syntax error
