|
|
|
|
> Create an MS-DOS filesystem inside a partition.
|
|
> More information: <https://manned.org/mkfs.fat>.
|
|
|
|
- Create a fat filesystem inside partition `Y` on device `X`:
|
|
|
|
`mkfs.fat {{/dev/sdXY}}`
|
|
|
|
- Create filesystem with a volume-name:
|
|
|
|
`mkfs.fat -n {{volume_name}} {{/dev/sdXY}}`
|
|
|
|
- Create filesystem with a volume-id:
|
|
|
|
`mkfs.fat -i {{volume_id}} {{/dev/sdXY}}`
|
|
|
|
- Use 5 instead of 2 file allocation tables:
|
|
|
|
`mkfs.fat -f 5 {{/dev/sdXY}}`
|
|
|
|
- Specify filesystem type:
|
|
|
|
`mkfs.fat -F {{12|16|32}} {{/dev/sdXY}}`
