jfs_logdump(8)						  JFS utility - journal log dump					    jfs_logdump(8)

NAME

       jfs_logdump - dump a JFS formatted device's journal log

SYNOPSIS

       jfs_logdump [ -a ] device

DESCRIPTION

       jfs_logdump dumps the contents of the journal log from the specified JFS formatted device into output file ./jfslog.dmp.

       device is the special file name corresponding to the actual device from which the journal log will be dumped (e.g.  /dev/hdb1 ).

       jfs_logdump must be run as root.

OPTIONS

       -a     Dump the entire contents of the journal log instead of just the committed transactions since the last synch point.

EXAMPLE

       Dump the entire JFS journal log from the 3rd partition of the 2nd hard disk into ./jfslog.dmp:

	      jfs_logdump -a /dev/hdb3

REPORTING BUGS

       If you find a bug in JFS or jfs_logdump, please report it via the bug tracking system ("Report Bugs" section) of the JFS project web site:

       Please send as much pertinent information as possible, including any jfs_logdump error messages and the complete output of running jfs_fsck
       with the -v option on the JFS device.

jfs_mkfs(8)						     JFS file system creation						       jfs_mkfs(8)

NAME

       jfs_mkfs - create a JFS formatted partition

SYNOPSIS

       jfs_mkfs [options] device [ blocks ]

DESCRIPTION

       jfs_mkfs is used to create (format) a JFS partition.  jfs_mkfs must be run as root.

       device  is  the special file name corresponding to the actual device (e.g. /dev/hdb1) on which a JFS file system and/or JFS journal will be
       created.  blocks is the number of blocks to be used for the file system.  If omitted, jfs_mkfs automatically figures the file system size.

       The default block size is 4096.

WARNING

       jfs_mkfs will destroy all data on the specified device!

OPTIONS

       -c     Check the device for bad blocks before building the file system.

       -j journal_device
	      Create the external JFS journal on journal_device , create the JFS file system on device , and attach the external  journal  to  the
	      file system.

       -J journal-options
	      Create  the  JFS	journal  on its own device or attach an external JFS journal to the JFS file system using options specified on the
	      command-line.  The following journal options are supported:

		   journal_dev
			  Create an external JFS journal on the given device.

		   device=external-journal
			  Attach an existing external JFS journal located on external-journal to the JFS file  system  that  will  be  created	on
			  device.  The external journal must already have been created using the command

			  jfs_mkfs -J journal_dev external-journal

			  Attach the external journal to the file system being created by using the command

			  jfs_mkfs -J device=external-journal device

			  Instead  of specifying a device name directly, external-journal can also be specified by either LABEL=label or UUID=UUID
			  to locate the external journal by either the volume label or UUID stored in the JFS external log superblock at the start
			  of  the  journal.  Use jfs_tune(8) to display a journal device's volume label and UUID.  (See the -l, -L, and -U options
			  of jfs_tune(8).)

	      Only one of the journal_dev or device= options can be given per jfs_mkfs issuance.

       -L volume_label
	      Set the volume label for the newly formatted device.

	      If -L volume_label is used along with -J journal_device, the volume label of the specified external journal device will  be  set	to
	      volume_label.  Otherwise, the volume label of the JFS file system will be set to volume_label.

       -O     Provide case-insensitive support for compatibility with OS/2.

       -q     Quiet execution - do not ask for confirmation before creating the file system.

       -s log_size
	      Set  the	log  size  (in	megabytes) of the inline log.  If the -s option is not used, the default log size is 0.4% of the aggregate
	      size.

       -V     Print version information and exit (regardless of any other chosen options).

EXAMPLES

       Format 3rd partition on 2nd hard disk with the volume label "JFS_hdb3":

	      jfs_mkfs -L JFS_hdb3 /dev/hdb3

       Format 5th partition on 1st hard disk, verifying each block created:

	      jfs_mkfs -c /dev/hda5

       Format 3rd partition on 2nd hard disk as external journal, format 4th partition on 1st hard disk as JFS file system, and attach the  exter-
       nal journal to the file system:

	      jfs_mkfs -j /dev/hdb3 /dev/hda4

       If you find a bug in JFS or jfs_mkfs, please report it via the bug tracking system ("Report Bugs" section) of the JFS project web site:

       Please send as much pertinent information as possible including any error messages resulting from running jfs_mkfs.
