MKUDFFS(8)                  System Manager's Manual                 MKUDFFS(8)

NAME
       mkudffs - create an UDF filesystem

SYNOPSIS
       mkudffs [ switches ] device [ blocks-count ]

DESCRIPTION
       mkudffs  is  used  to  create  a  UDF filesystem on a device (usually a
       disk).  device is the special file corresponding  to  the  device  (e.g
       /dev/hdX).  blocks-count  is  the  number  of blocks on the device.  If
       omitted, mkudffs automagically figures the file system size. The  order
       of  options matters.  Ident string options must be first and options to
       override default settings implied by  the  media-type  or  UDF  revison
       should be after the option they are overriding.

OPTIONS
       -h,--help
              Display the usage and list of options.

       -l,--label= label
              Specify  the UDF label. UDF label is synonym for specifying both
              --lvid and --vid options. If omitted, mkudffs label is LinuxUDF.

       -u,--uuid= uuid
              Specify the UDF uuid. Must be exactly 16 characters and is  used
              for  first  16  characters  of  --fullvsid  option.  If omitted,
              mkudffs uuid is generated from local time and random number.

       -b,--blocksize= block-size
              Specify the size of blocks in bytes. Valid block size vales  are
              512,  1024,  2048  and 4096 bytes per block. If omitted, mkudffs
              block-size is set to device logical block (sector) size.  If  it
              is unknown then block-size 2048 is used.

       -r,--udfrev= udf-revision
              Specify  the  udf  revision  to use. Valid revisions are 0x0201,
              0x0200, 0x0150, and 0x0102. If omitted, mkudffs udf-revision  is
              0x0201. The hex values represent the ISO/IEC 13346 standard ver-
              sion numbers: e.g. the 0x0201 refers to 2.01  (March  15,  2000)
              which is mainly a bugfix release to UDF 2.00.

       --lvid= logical-volume-ident
              Specify the logical volume identifier. If omitted, mkudffs logi-
              cal-volume-ident is LinuxUDF.

       --vid= volume-ident
              Specify the volume identifier. If omitted, mkudffs  volume-ident
              is LinuxUDF.

       --vsid= volume-set-ident
              Specify  the  17.-127.  character  of  volume set identifier. If
              omitted, mkudffs volume-set-ident is LinuxUDF.

       --fsid= file-set-ident
              Specify the file set identifier. If omitted,  mkudffs  file-set-
              ident is LinuxUDF.

       --fullvsid= full-volume-set-ident
              Specify the volume set identifier. Overwrite previous --uuid and
              --vsid options.

       --uid= uid
              Specify the uid of the root (/) directory. If  omitted,  mkudffs
              uid is 0.

       --gid= gid
              Specify  the  gid of the root (/) directory. If omitted, mkudffs
              gid is 0.

       --strategy= strategy
              Specify the allocation strategy to use. Valid strategies  are  4
              and  4096.   If omitted, mkudffs strategy is based on the media-
              type.

       --spartable= spartable-number
              Specify the number of sparing tables to  write  to  disc.  Valid
              numbers are 1 - 4.  This option implies --media-type=cdrw.

       --media-type= media-type
              Specify the media type. Valid media types are:

                   hd (default)    hard drive

                   dvd             DVD (Digital Versatile Disc)

                   unallocbitmap   Unallocated bitmap

                   unalloctable    Unallocated table

       --ad= ad

                   short           Short Allocation Descriptors

                   long            Long Allocation Descriptors

       --noefe
              Don't Use Extended File Entries

       --u8   Ident string options are encoded in 8-bit OSTA  Compressed  Uni-
              code equivalent.  Must be specified as first argument.

       --u16  Ident  string options are encoded in 16-bit OSTA Compressed Uni-
              code equivalent.  Must be specified as first argument.

       --utf8 Ident string options are encoded in UTF-8  (default).   Must  be
              specified as first argument.

       --closed
              Make  cdr  media  type closed (AVDP is written to start and also
              end of disk).  By default cdr media type is  unclosed  (AVDP  is
              written only to start of disk).

       --packetlen= length
              Packet  length  in  number of sectors for cdrw (default: 32 sec-
              tors) and dvdrw (default: 16 sectors) media types.

EXIT STATUS
       mkudffs returns 0 if successful, non-zero if there are problems.
