If omitted, \fBmkfs.fat\fP automatically determines the filesystem +size. +.SH OPTIONS +.IP \fB\-a\fP 4 +Normally, for any filesystem except very small ones, \fBmkfs.fat\fP will align +all the data structures to cluster size, to make sure that as long as the +partition is properly aligned, so will all the data structures in the +filesystem. This option disables alignment; this may provide a handful of +additional clusters of storage at the expense of a significant performance +degradation on RAIDs, flash media or large\-sector hard disks. +.IP "\fB \-A\fP" 4 +Use Atari variation of the MS\-DOS filesystem. This is default if +\fBmkfs.fat\fP is run on an Atari, then this option turns off Atari format. +There are some differences when using Atari format: If not directed +otherwise by the user, \fBmkfs.fat\fP will always use 2 sectors per cluster, +since GEMDOS doesn't like other values very much. It will also obey the +maximum number of sectors GEMDOS can handle. Larger filesystems are managed +by raising the logical sector size. Under Atari format, an Atari\-compatible +serial number for the filesystem is generated, and a 12 bit FAT is used only +for filesystems that have one of the usual floppy sizes (720k, 1.2M, 1.44M, +2.88M), a 16 bit FAT otherwise. This can be overridden with the \fB\-F\fP +option. Some PC\-specific boot sector fields aren't written, and a boot +message (option \fB\-m\fP) is ignored. +.IP "\fB\-b\fP \fISECTOR\-OF\-BACKUP\fP" 4 +Selects the location of the backup boot sector for FAT32. Default depends +on number of reserved sectors, but usually is sector 6. The backup must be +within the range of reserved sectors. +.IP \fB\-c\fP 4 +Check the device for bad blocks before creating the filesystem. +.IP \fB\-C\fP 4 +Create the file given as \fIDEVICE\fP on the command line, and write the +to\-be\-created filesystem to it. This can be used to create the new +filesystem in a file instead of on a real device, and to avoid using \fBdd\fP +in advance to create a file of appropriate size. With this option, the +\fIBLOCK\-COUNT\fP must be given, because otherwise the intended size of the +filesystem wouldn't be known. The file created is a sparse file, which +actually only contains the meta\-data areas (boot sector, FATs, and root +directory). The data portions won't be stored on the disk, but the file +nevertheless will have the correct size. The resulting file can be copied +later to a floppy disk or other device, or mounted through a loop device. +.IP "\fB\-D\fP \fIDRIVE\-NUMBER\fP" 4 +Specify the BIOS drive number to be stored in the FAT boot sector. This +value is usually 0x80 for hard disks and 0x00 for floppy devices or +partitions to be used for floppy emulation. +.IP "\fB\-f\fP \fINUMBER\-OF\-FATS\fP" 4 +Specify the number of file allocation tables in the filesystem. The default +is 2. +.IP "\fB\-F\fP \fIFAT\-SIZE\fP" 4 +Specifies the type of file allocation tables used (12, 16 or 32 bit). If +nothing is specified, \fBmkfs.fat\fP will automatically select between 12, 16 +and 32 bit, whatever fits better for the filesystem size. +.IP "\fB\-h\fP \fINUMBER\-OF\-HIDDEN\-SECTORS\fP" 4 +Select the number of hidden sectors in the volume. Apparently some digital +cameras get indigestion if you feed them a CF card without such hidden +sectors, this option allows you to satisfy them. +.IP "\fB\-i\fP \fIVOLUME\-ID\fP" 4 +Sets the volume ID of the newly created filesystem; \fIVOLUME\-ID\fP is a 32\-bit +hexadecimal number (for example, 2e24ec82). The default is a number which +depends on the filesystem creation time. +.IP \fB\-I\fP 4 +It is typical for fixed disk devices to be partitioned so, by default, you +are not permitted to create a filesystem across the entire device. +\fBmkfs.fat\fP will complain and tell you that it refuses to work. This is +different when using MO disks. One doesn't always need partitions on MO +disks. The filesystem can go directly to the whole disk. Under other OSes +this is known as the 'superfloppy' format. This switch will force +\fBmkfs.fat\fP to work properly. +.IP "\fB\-l\fP \fIFILENAME\fP" 4 +Read the bad blocks list from \fIFILENAME\fP. +.IP "\fB\-m\fP \fIMESSAGE\-FILE\fP" 4 +Sets the message the user receives on attempts to boot this filesystem +without having properly installed an operating system. The message file +must not exceed 418 bytes once line feeds have been converted to carriage +return\-line feed combinations, and tabs have been expanded. If the filename +is a hyphen (\-), the text is taken from standard input. +.IP "\fB\-M\fP \fIFAT\-MEDIA\-TYPE\fP" 4 +Specify the media type to be stored in the FAT boot sector. This value is +usually 0xF8 for hard disks and is 0xF0 or a value from 0xF9 to 0xFF for +floppies or partitions to be used for floppy emulation. +.IP "\fB\-n\fP \fIVOLUME\-NAME\fP" 4 +Sets the volume name (label) of the filesystem. The volume name can be up +to 11 characters long. The default is no label. +.IP "\fB\-r\fP \fIROOT\-DIR\-ENTRIES\fP" 4 +Select the number of entries available in the root directory. The default +is 112 or 224 for floppies and 512 for hard disks. +.IP "\fB\-R\fP \fINUMBER\-OF\-RESERVED\-SECTORS\fP" 4 +Select the number of reserved sectors. With FAT32 format at least 2 +reserved sectors are needed, the default is 32. Otherwise the default is 1 +(only the boot sector). +.IP "\fB\-s\fP \fISECTORS\-PER\-CLUSTER\fP" 4 +Specify the number of disk sectors per cluster. Must be a power of 2, +i.e. 1, 2, 4, 8, ... 128. +.IP "\fB\-S\fP \fILOGICAL\-SECTOR\-SIZE\fP" 4 +Specify the number of bytes per logical sector. Must be a power of 2 and +greater than or equal to 512, i.e. 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, or +32768. +.IP \fB\-v\fP 4 +Verbose execution. +.IP \fB\-\-invariant\fP 4 +Use constants for normally randomly generated or time based data such as +volume ID and creation time. Multiple runs of \fBmkfs.fat\fP on the same +device create identical results with this option. Its main purpose is +testing \fBmkfs.fat\fP. +.IP \fB\-\-help\fP 4 +.\" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Display option summary and exit. +.SH BUGS +.\" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +\fBmkfs.fat\fP can not create boot\-able filesystems.
