mkfs.reiser4 - the program for creating reiser4 filesystem. SYNOPSIS
mkfs.reiser4 [ options ] FILE1 FILE2 ... [ size[K|M|G] ] DESCRIPTION
mkfs.reiser4 is reiser4 filesystem creation program. It is based on new libreiser4 library. Since libreiser4 is fully plugin-based, we have the potential to create not just reiser4 partitions, but any filesystem or database format, which is based on balanced trees. COMMON OPTIONS
-V, --version prints program version. -?, -h, --help prints program help. -y, --yes assumes an answer 'yes' to all questions. -f, --force forces mkfs to use whole disk, not block device or mounted partition. MKFS OPTIONS
-b, --block-size N block size to be used (architecture page size by default) -L, --label LABEL volume label to be used -U, --uuid UUID universally unique identifier to be used -s, --lost-found forces mkfs to create lost+found directory. PLUGIN OPTIONS
-p, --print-profile prints the plugin profile. This is the set of default plugins used for all parts of a filesystem -- format, nodes, files, directo- ries, hashes, etc. If --override is specified, then prints modified plugins. -l, --print-plugins prints all plugins libreiser4 know about. -o, --override TYPE=PLUGIN, ... overrides the default plugin of the type "TYPE" by the plugin "PLUGIN" in the plugin profile. Examples: assign short key plugin to "key" field in order to create filesystem with short keys policy: mkfs.reiser4 -yf -o key=key_short /dev/hda2 REPORTING BUGS

mkfs.btrfs - create an btrfs filesystem SYNOPSIS
mkfs.btrfs [ -A alloc-start ] [ -b byte-count ] [ -d data-profile ] [ -l leafsize ] [ -L label ] [ -m metadata profile ] [ -n nodesize ] [ -s sectorsize ] [ -h ] [ -V ] device [ device ... ] DESCRIPTION
mkfs.btrfs is used to create an btrfs filesystem (usually in a disk partition, or an array of disk partitions). device is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g /dev/sdXX ). If multiple devices are specified, btrfs is created spanning across the specified devices. OPTIONS
-A, --alloc-start offset Specify the offset from the start of the device to start the btrfs filesystem. The default value is zero, or the start of the device. -b, --byte-count size Specify the size of the resultant filesystem. If this option is not used, mkfs.btrfs uses all the available storage for the filesys- tem. -d, --data type Specify how the data must be spanned across the devices specified. Valid values are raid0, raid1, raid10 or single. -l, --leafsize size Specify the leaf size, the least data item in which btrfs stores data. The default value is the page size. -L, --label name Specify a label for the filesystem. -m, --metadata profile Specify how metadata must be spanned across the devices specified. Valid values are raid0, raid1, raid10 or single. -n, --nodesize size Specify the nodesize. By default the value is set to the pagesize. -s, --sectorsize size Specify the sectorsize, the minimum block allocation. -V, --version Print the mkfs.btrfs version and exit. AVAILABILITY
mkfs.btrfs is part of btrfs-progs. Btrfs is currently under heavy development, and not suitable for any uses other than benchmarking and review. Please refer to the btrfs wiki http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org for further details. SEE ALSO
