newfs — Construct a New UFS File System
Synopsis
/usr/lib/fs/newfs [-Nv][mkfs-options] raw-device
Description
The newfs command is a friendly front end to the mkfs(1M) program for making UFS file systems on disk partitions. newfs calculates the appropriate parameters to use and calls mkfs.
If run interactively (that is, standard input is a TTY), newfs prompts for confirmation before making the file system.
If you do not specify the -N option and the inodes of the device are not randomized, newfs calls fsirand(1M).
You must be superuser to use this command, except when creating a UFS file system on a diskette.
Options
| -N | Print the file-system parameters that would be used in creating the file system without actually creating the file system. ... | ||
