mkzonefs(8) 💖

okay bestie, so this little icon is from the System Manager's Manual section of your system, and it lives at mkzonefs(8) — yes it's a section 8 situation, that's the admin/sysadmin club 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

mkzonefs — Create a zonefs file system on a zoned block device 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mkzonefs [ -h|--help ] [ -v ] [ -f ] [ -L label ] [ -o features ] device

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so real talk: mkzonefs is the girl whose whole entire job is creating a zonefs file system on a zoned block device. that's it. that's the job. no cap. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — shows you a lil short usage message and then bounces. very "here's the vibe, bye" of it 🙈
  • -v — turns on verbose output. she will talk to you. yapping mode: activated ✨
  • -f — overwrites whatever file system format is already chilling on the device. like, fully wipes the old format, so know that before you send it 🫣
  • -L label — sets the label, aka the volume name. and listen: a label must not exceed 32 characters. thirty-two. that's the cap, bestie 👑
  • -o features — picks your optional features. they're comma separated, and a feature can take an argument using the equal (=) sign. here's the full roster of what's supported:
    • aggr_cnv — aggregates contiguous conventional zones into a single file. Default: disabled (meaning she creates one file per zone instead). it's giving "all my girls in one room" vs "one girl per room" 🎀
    • uid=UID — creates files with UID as the owner user. the default is the "root" user (UID 0). 👑
    • gid=GID — creates files with GID as the group owner. the default is the "root" group (GID 0). 👑
    • perm=permissions — creates files with permissions as their access rights. the default is "640". 🍓
