1 SFSformat can be used to quick format an SFS partition. The
2 normal format command has special options for FastFilesystem
3 (FFS, DIRCACHE and so on) -- SFSformat has special options
6 SFSformat currently only has one option, which can be used
7 to format a SFS disk with case sensitive file and directory
10 It's command line syntax is:
12 DEVICE=DRIVE/A/K,NAME/K/A,CASESENSITIVE/S,NORECYCLED/S,
18 The SFS drive you wish to quick format. SFSformat can only
19 be used to quick format an SFS drive. Other filesystems
25 The name of the newly formatted partition.
30 Specify this on the command line to get case sensitive file
31 and directory names. If you specify this option, then SFS
32 will treat the files 'foo', 'Foo' and 'FOO' as three
33 distinct files. Without this option they would be treated
34 as one and the same file (FFS behaviour).
39 When specified the disk will be formatted without creating a
40 Recycled directory. You can't create this directory later
41 on (atleast not for now), so choose carefully.
46 By default the Recycled directory is hidden and won't show
47 up in directory listings. You can override this behaviour
52 When starting SFSformat it will ask you to confirm the
53 format. Press Return to format, or Ctrl + C to abort.
59 SFSformat drive SFS: name Empty casesensitive
61 -> Quick formats drive SFS: and gives it the name 'Empty'.
62 File and directory names on this drive will be case
66 SFSformat drive HD0: name MyDrive
68 -> Quick formats drive HD0: and gives it the name 'MyDrive'.
69 File and directory names on this drive will be treated
70 case insensitively (like under FFS).
