NEWFS_SYSVBFS(8)					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					  NEWFS_SYSVBFS(8)

NAME

     newfs_sysvbfs -- construct a new System V Boot File System

SYNOPSIS

     newfs_sysvbfs [-FZ] [-s sectors] special

DESCRIPTION

     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.

SEE ALSO

     disklabel(5), disktab(5), disklabel(8), diskpart(8)

HISTORY

     A newfs_sysvbfs command first appeared in NetBSD 4.0.

BUGS

     The sysvbfs support is still experimental and there are few sanity checks.

NEWFS_V7FS(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     NEWFS_V7FS(8)

NAME

     newfs_v7fs -- construct a new 7th Edition(V7) File System

SYNOPSIS

     newfs_v7fs [-FZ] [-B byte-order] [-n inodes] [-s sectors] [-V verbose] special

DESCRIPTION

     newfs_v7fs builds a 7th Edition(V7) 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_v7fs the disk must be labeled using disklabel(8); the proper fstype is ``Version 7''.	Otherwise, the
     size must be specified on the command line.  V7 filesystem's block size and sector size are 512 byte.  Disk address limits are 24 bit.

     The following arguments are supported:

     -B byte-order    Specify the metadata byte order of the file system to be created.  Valid byte orders are 'be', 'le', and 'pdp'.  If no byte
		      order is specified, the file system is created in host byte order.

     -F 	      Create file system to a regular file (needs the -s option).

     -n inodes	      This specifies the number of inodes for the filesystem.  If the number of inodes exceeds 65536, it is reduced to 65536.

     -s sectors       Create file system with specified number of disk sectors.

     -V verbose       This controls the amount of information written to stdout:
			    0	 No output.
			    1	 Overall size, ilist size, endian and filename length.
			    2	 A progress bar.
			    3
			    4	 More verbose message.
		      The default is 3.

     -Z 	      Fill file with zeroes instead of creating a sparse file.
