+\fBfsck.fat\fP \- check and repair MS\-DOS filesystems
+.SH SYNOPSIS

+\fBfsck.fat\fP [\fIOPTIONS\fP] \fIDEVICE\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBfsck.fat\fP verifies the consistency of MS\-DOS filesystems and optionally
+tries to repair them.
+.PP
+The following filesystem problems can be corrected (in this order):
+.IP * 4
+FAT contains invalid cluster numbers. Cluster is changed to EOF.
+.IP * 4
+File's cluster chain contains a loop. The loop is broken.
+.IP * 4
+Bad clusters (read errors). The clusters are marked bad and they are
+removed from files owning them. This check is optional.
+.IP * 4
+Directories with a large number of bad entries (probably corrupt). The
+directory can be deleted.
+.IP * 4
+Files . and .. are non\-directories. They can be deleted or renamed.
+.IP * 4
+Directories . and .. in root directory. They are deleted.
+.IP * 4
+Bad filenames. They can be renamed.
+.IP * 4
+Duplicate directory entries. They can be deleted or renamed.
+.IP * 4
+Directories with non\-zero size field. Size is set to zero.
+.IP * 4
+Directory . does not point to parent directory. The start pointer is
+adjusted.
+.IP * 4
+Directory .. does not point to parent of parent directory. The start
+pointer is adjusted.
+.IP * 4
+Start cluster number of a file is invalid. The file is truncated.
+.IP * 4
+File contains bad or free clusters. The file is truncated.
+.IP * 4
+File's cluster chain is longer than indicated by the size fields. The file
+is truncated.
+.IP * 4
+Two or more files share the same cluster(s). All but one of the files are
+truncated. If the file being truncated is a directory file that has already
+been read, the filesystem check is restarted after truncation.
+.IP * 4
+File's cluster chain is shorter than indicated by the size fields. The file
+is truncated.
+.IP * 4
+Clusters are marked as used but are not owned by a file. They are marked as
+free.
+.PP
+Additionally, the following problems are detected, but not repaired:
+.IP * 4
+Invalid parameters in boot sector
+.IP * 4
+Absence of . and .. entries in non\-root directories
+.PP
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+When \fBfsck.fat\fP checks a filesystem, it accumulates all changes in memory
+and performs them only after all checks are complete. This can be disabled
+with the \fB\-w\fP option.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.IP \fB\-a\fP 4
+Automatically repair the filesystem. No user intervention is necessary.
+Whenever there is more than one method to solve a problem, the least
+destructive approach is used.
+.IP \fB\-A\fP 4
+Use Atari variation of the MS\-DOS filesystem. This is default if
+\fBfsck.fat\fP is run on an Atari, then this option turns off Atari format.
+There are some minor differences in Atari format: Some boot sector fields
+are interpreted slightly different, and the special FAT entries for
+end\-of\-file and bad cluster can be different. Under MS\-DOS 0xfff8 is used
+for EOF and Atari employs 0xffff by default, but both systems recognize all
+values from 0xfff8...0xffff as end\-of\-file. MS\-DOS uses only 0xfff7 for bad
+clusters, where on Atari values 0xfff0...0xfff7 are for this purpose (but
+the standard value is still 0xfff7).
+.IP \fB\-b\fP 4
+Make read\-only boot sector check.
+.IP "\fB\-d\fP \fIPATH\fP" 4
+Delete the specified file. If more than one file with that name exist, the
+first one is deleted. This option can be given more than once.
+.IP \fB\-f\fP 4
+Salvage unused cluster chains to files. By default, unused clusters are
+added to the free disk space except in auto mode (\fB\-a\fP).
+.IP \fB\-l\fP 4
+List path names of files being processed.
+.IP \fB\-n\fP 4
+No\-operation mode: non\-interactively check for errors, but don't write
+anything to the filesystem.
+.IP \fB\-p\fP 4
+Same as \fB\-a\fP, for compatibility with other *fsck.
+.IP \fB\-r\fP 4
+Interactively repair the filesystem. The user is asked for advice whenever
+there is more than one approach to fix an inconsistency. This is the
+default mode and the option is only retained for backwards compatibility.
+.IP \fB\-t\fP 4
+Mark unreadable clusters as bad.
+.IP "\fB\-u\fP \fIPATH\fP" 4
+Try to undelete the specified file. \fBfsck.fat\fP tries to allocate a chain
+of contiguous unallocated clusters beginning with the start cluster of the
+undeleted file. This option can be given more than once.
+.IP \fB\-v\fP 4
+Verbose mode. Generates slightly more output.
+.IP \fB\-V\fP 4
+Perform a verification pass. The filesystem check is repeated after the
+first run. The second pass should never report any fixable errors. It may
+take considerably longer than the first pass, because the first pass may
+have generated long list of modifications that have to be scanned for each
+disk read.
+.IP \fB\-w\fP 4
+Write changes to disk immediately.
+.IP \fB\-y\fP 4
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Same as \fB\-a\fP (automatically repair filesystem) for compatibility with other
+fsck tools.
+.SH "EXIT STATUS"
+.IP 0 4
+No recoverable errors have been detected.
+.IP 1 4
+Recoverable errors have been detected or \fBfsck.fat\fP has discovered an
+internal inconsistency.
+.IP 2 4
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Usage error. \fBfsck.fat\fP did not access the filesystem.
+.SH FILES
+.IP "fsck0000.rec, fsck0001.rec, ..." 4
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+When recovering from a corrupted filesystem, \fBfsck.fat\fP dumps recovered
+data into files named 'fsckNNNN.rec' in the top level directory of the
+filesystem.
+.SH BUGS
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Does not create . and .. files where necessary. Does not remove entirely
+empty directories. Should give more diagnostic messages. Undeleting files
+should use a more sophisticated algorithm.

+\fBmkfs.fat\fP \- create an MS\-DOS filesystem under Linux
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+\fBmkfs.fat\fP [\fIOPTIONS\fP] \fIDEVICE\fP [\fIBLOCK\-COUNT\fP]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+\fBmkfs.fat\fP is used to create an MS\-DOS filesystem under Linux on a device
+(usually a disk partition). \fIDEVICE\fP is the special file corresponding to
+the device (e.g. /dev/sdXX). \fIBLOCK\-COUNT\fP is the number of blocks on the
+device. 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.

+\fBfsck.fat\fR \- check and repair MS\-DOS filesystems
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBfsck.fat\fR [\fIOPTIONS\fR] \fIDEVICE\fR
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBfsck.fat\fR verifies the consistency of MS\-DOS filesystems and optionally
+tries to repair them.
+.PP
+The following filesystem problems can be corrected (in this order):
+.IP "*" 4
+FAT contains invalid cluster numbers.
+Cluster is changed to EOF.
+.IP "*" 4
+File's cluster chain contains a loop.
+The loop is broken.
+.IP "*" 4
+Bad clusters (read errors).
+The clusters are marked bad and they are removed from files owning them.
+This check is optional.
+.IP "*" 4
+Directories with a large number of bad entries (probably corrupt).
+The directory can be deleted.
+.IP "*" 4
+Files . and .. are non\-directories.
+They can be deleted or renamed.
+.IP "*" 4
+Directories . and .. in root directory.
+They are deleted.
+.IP "*" 4
+Bad filenames.
+They can be renamed.
+.IP "*" 4
+Duplicate directory entries.
+They can be deleted or renamed.
+.IP "*" 4
+Directories with non\-zero size field.
+Size is set to zero.
+.IP "*" 4
+Directory . does not point to parent directory.
+The start pointer is adjusted.
+.IP "*" 4
+Directory .. does not point to parent of parent directory.
+The start pointer is adjusted.
+.IP "*" 4
+Start cluster number of a file is invalid.
+The file is truncated.
+.IP "*" 4
+File contains bad or free clusters.
+The file is truncated.
+.IP "*" 4
+File's cluster chain is longer than indicated by the size fields.
+The file is truncated.
+.IP "*" 4
+Two or more files share the same cluster(s).
+All but one of the files are truncated.
+If the file being truncated is a directory file that has already been read, the
+filesystem check is restarted after truncation.
+.IP "*" 4
+File's cluster chain is shorter than indicated by the size fields.
+The file is truncated.
+.IP "*" 4
+Clusters are marked as used but are not owned by a file.
+They are marked as free.
+.PP
+Additionally, the following problems are detected, but not repaired:
+.IP "*" 4
+Invalid parameters in boot sector
+.IP "*" 4
+Absence of . and .. entries in non\-root directories
+.PP
+When \fBfsck.fat\fR checks a filesystem, it accumulates all changes in memory
+and performs them only after all checks are complete.
+This can be disabled with the \fB\-w\fR option.
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH OPTIONS
+.IP "\fB\-a\fR" 4
+Automatically repair the filesystem.
+No user intervention is necessary.
+Whenever there is more than one method to solve a problem, the least
+destructive approach is used.
+.IP "\fB\-A\fR" 4
+Use Atari variation of the MS\-DOS filesystem.
+This is default if \fBfsck.fat\fR is run on an Atari, then this option turns
+off Atari format.
+There are some minor differences in Atari format:
+Some boot sector fields are interpreted slightly different, and the special FAT
+entries for end\-of\-file and bad cluster can be different.
+Under MS\-DOS 0xfff8 is used for EOF and Atari employs 0xffff by default, but
+both systems recognize all values from 0xfff8...0xffff as end\-of\-file.
+MS\-DOS uses only 0xfff7 for bad clusters, where on Atari values 0xfff0...0xfff7
+are for this purpose (but the standard value is still 0xfff7).
+.IP "\fB-b\fR" 4
+Make read-only boot sector check.
+.IP "\fB\-d\fR \fIPATH\fR" 4
+Delete the specified file.
+If more than one file with that name exist, the first one is deleted.
+This option can be given more than once.
+.IP "\fB\-f\fR" 4
+Salvage unused cluster chains to files.
+By default, unused clusters are added to the free disk space except in auto mode
+(\fB\-a\fR).
+.IP "\fB\-l\fR" 4
+List path names of files being processed.
+.IP "\fB\-n\fR" 4
+No\-operation mode: non\-interactively check for errors, but don't write
+anything to the filesystem.
+.IP "\fB\-p\fR" 4
+Same as \fB\-a\fR, for compatibility with other *fsck.
+.IP "\fB\-r\fR" 4
+Interactively repair the filesystem.
+The user is asked for advice whenever there is more than one approach to fix an
+inconsistency.
+This is the default mode and the option is only retained for backwards
+compatibility.
+.IP "\fB\-t\fR" 4
+Mark unreadable clusters as bad.
+.IP "\fB\-u\fR \fIPATH\fR" 4
+Try to undelete the specified file.
+\fBfsck.fat\fR tries to allocate a chain of contiguous unallocated clusters
+beginning with the start cluster of the undeleted file.
+This option can be given more than once.
+.IP "\fB\-v\fR" 4
+Verbose mode.
+Generates slightly more output.
+.IP "\fB\-V\fR" 4
+Perform a verification pass.
+The filesystem check is repeated after the first run.
+The second pass should never report any fixable errors.
+It may take considerably longer than the first pass, because the first pass may
+have generated long list of modifications that have to be scanned for each disk
+read.
+.IP "\fB\-w\fR" 4
+Write changes to disk immediately.
+.IP "\fB\-y\fR" 4
+Same as \fB\-a\fR (automatically repair filesystem) for compatibility with other
+fsck tools.
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH "EXIT STATUS"
+.IP "0" 4
+No recoverable errors have been detected.
+.IP "1" 4
+Recoverable errors have been detected or \fBfsck.fat\fR has discovered an
+internal inconsistency.
+.IP "2" 4
+Usage error.
+\fBfsck.fat\fR did not access the filesystem.
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH FILES
+.IP "fsck0000.rec, fsck0001.rec, ..." 4
+When recovering from a corrupted filesystem, \fBfsck.fat\fR dumps recovered data
+into files named 'fsckNNNN.rec' in the top level directory of the filesystem.
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH BUGS
+Does not create . and .. files where necessary.
+Does not remove entirely empty directories.
+Should give more diagnostic messages.
+Undeleting files should use a more sophisticated algorithm.

+.TH MKFS.FAT 8 2015\-05\-16 3.0.28 "dosfstools"
+.SH NAME
+\fBmkfs.fat\fR \- create an MS-DOS filesystem under Linux
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBmkfs.fat\fR [\fIOPTIONS\fR] \fIDEVICE\fR [\fIBLOCK-COUNT\fR]
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBmkfs.fat\fR is used to create an MS-DOS filesystem under Linux on a device
+(usually a disk partition).
+\fIDEVICE\fR is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g. /dev/sdXX).
+\fIBLOCK-COUNT\fR is the number of blocks on the device.
+If omitted, \fBmkfs.fat\fR automatically determines the filesystem size.
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH OPTIONS
+.IP "\fB\-a\fR" 4
+Normally, for any filesystem except very small ones, \fBmkfs.fat\fR 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\fR" 4
+Use Atari variation of the MS-DOS filesystem.
+This is default if \fBmkfs.fat\fR 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\fR 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\fR option.
+Some PC-specific boot sector fields aren't written, and a boot message (option
+\fB\-m\fR) is ignored.
+.IP "\fB\-b\fR \fISECTOR-OF-BACKUP\fR" 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" 4
+Check the device for bad blocks before creating the filesystem.
+.IP "\fB\-C\fR" 4
+Create the file given as \fIDEVICE\fR 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\fR in advance to create a file of appropriate
+size.
+With this option, the \fIBLOCK-COUNT\fR 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\fR \fIDRIVE-NUMBER\fR" 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\fR \fINUMBER-OF-FATS\fR" 4
+Specify the number of file allocation tables in the filesystem.
+The default is 2.
+.IP "\fB\-F\fR \fIFAT-SIZE\fR" 4
+Specifies the type of file allocation tables used (12, 16 or 32 bit).
+If nothing is specified, \fBmkfs.fat\fR will automatically select between 12, 16
+and 32 bit, whatever fits better for the filesystem size.
+.IP "\fB\-h\fR \fINUMBER-OF-HIDDEN-SECTORS\fR" 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\fR \fIVOLUME-ID\fR" 4
+Sets the volume ID of the newly created filesystem; \fIVOLUME-ID\fR is a 32-bit
+hexadecimal number (for example, 2e24ec82).
+The default is a number which depends on the filesystem creation time.
+.IP "\fB\-I\fR" 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\fR 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\fR to work properly.
+.IP "\fB\-l\fR \fIFILENAME\fR" 4
+Read the bad blocks list from \fIFILENAME\fR.
+.IP "\fB\-m\fR \fIMESSAGE-FILE\fR" 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\fR \fIFAT-MEDIA-TYPE\fR" 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\fR \fIVOLUME-NAME\fR" 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\fR \fIROOT-DIR-ENTRIES\fR" 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\fR \fINUMBER-OF-RESERVED-SECTORS\fR" 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\fR \fISECTORS-PER-CLUSTER\fR" 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\fR \fILOGICAL-SECTOR-SIZE\fR" 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\fR" 4
+Verbose execution.
+.IP "\fB\-\-invariant\fR" 4
+Use constants for normally randomly generated or time based data such as
+volume ID and creation time.
+Multiple runs of \fBmkfs.fat\fR on the same device create identical results
+with this option.
+Its main purpose is testing \fBmkfs.fat\fR.
+.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4
+Display option summary and exit.
+.\" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH BUGS
+\fBmkfs.fat\fR can not create boot-able filesystems.
+This isn't as easy as you might think at first glance for various reasons and
+has been discussed a lot already.
