newfs_sysvbfs
—
construct a new System V Boot File System
newfs_sysvbfs |
[-FZ ] [-s
sectors] special |
newfs_sysvbfs
builds a System V boot file system on the
specified special. If it is a device, the size information will be taken from
the disk label and before running newfs_sysvbfs
the
disk must be labeled using
disklabel(8); the proper
fstype is “SysVBFS”. Otherwise, the size must be specified on
the command line.
The following arguments are supported:
-F
- Create file system to a regular file.
-s
sectors
- Create file system with specified number of disk sectors.
-Z
- Fill file with zeroes instead of creating a sparse file.
A newfs_sysvbfs
command first appeared in
NetBSD 4.0.
The sysvbfs support is still experimental and there are few sanity checks.
