NAME


       mkreiserfs - The create tool for the Linux ReiserFS filesystem.

 

SYNOPSIS


       mkreiserfs [ -dfV ] [ -b | --block-size N ] [ -h | --hash HASH ] [ -u |
       --uuid UUID ] [ -l | --label LABEL ] [ --format FORMAT ] [ -q | --quiet
       ]  [  -j  |  --journal-device  FILE  ] [ -s | --journal-size N ] [ -o |
       --journal-offset N ] [ -t | --transaction-max-size N ] [  -B  |  --bad-
       blocks file ]  device [ filesystem-size ]

 

DESCRIPTION






       mkreiserfs  creates  a Linux ReiserFS filesystem on a device (usually a
       disk partition).

       device 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).

       filesystem-size
              is the size in blocks of the filesystem. If omitted,  mkreiserfs
              will automatically set it.

 

OPTIONS


       -b | --block-size N
              N  is  block  size  in bytes. It may only be set to a power of 2
              within the 512-8192 interval.  Note that current versions of the
              kernel ( 2.6.19 ) do NOT support any size other than 4096.

       -h | --hash HASH
              HASH  specifies  which  hash function will sort the names in the
              directories.  Choose from r5, rupasov, or tea. r5 is the default
              one.

       --format FORMAT
              FORMAT  specifies the format for the new filesystem. Choose for-
              mat 3.5 or 3.6. If none is specified mkreiserfs will create for-
              mat  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.

       -u | --uuid UUID
              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 hyphens, e.g.:
              "c1b9d5a2-f162-11cf-9ece-0020afc76f16".   If   the  option    is
              skipped,  mkreiserfs  will by default generate a new UUID.

       -l | --label LABEL
              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.

       -q | --quiet
              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.

       -o | --journal-offset N
              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.

       -s | --journal-size N
              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 incor-
              rectly, it will automatically be adjusted.

       -B | --badblocks file
              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.

       -f     Forces mkreiserfs to continue even when the device is the  whole
              disk,  looks  mounted, or is not a block device. If -f is speci-
              fied more than once, it allows the user to avoid asking for con-
              firmation.

       -d     Sets  mkreiserfs  to  print debugging information during mkreis-
              erfs.

       -V     Prints the version and then exits.
