Creating a VxFS file system
The mkfs command creates a VxFS file system by writing to a special character
device file. The special character device is a location or character device node of
a particular storage device. The mkfs command builds a file system with a root
directory and a lost+found directory.
Before running mkfs, you must create the target device. Refer to your operating
system documentation for more information. If you are using a logical device
(such as a VxVM volume), see the VxVM documentation for instructions on device
initialization.
See the mkfs(1M) and mkfs_vxfs(1M) manual pages.
