I.1. Creating Ext-2/3 file systems

Ext-2/3 file systems can be created with mkfs on any EVMS or compatibility volume that does not already have a file system. The following options are available for creating Ext-2/3 file systems:

• badblocks
   

Perform a read-only check for bad blocks on the volume before creating the file system. The default is false.



• badblocks_rw
   

Perform a read/write check for bad blocks on the volume before creating the file system. The default is false.



• vollabel
   

Specify a volume label for the file system. The default is none.



• journal
   

Create a journal for use with the Ext2 file system. The default is true.
