ADFFORMAT(1) General Commands Manual ADFFORMAT(1) NAME adfformat - create a classic AmigaDOS filesystem (OFS/FFS) on an ADF or HDF volume. SYNOPSIS adfformat [-llabel] [-pvolume] [-tfstype] [-fvhV] adf_device DESCRIPTION adfformat is a simple utility allowing to create a classic AmigaDos- type filesystem (OFS or FFS) on the selected volume of an ADF (Amiga Disk File) or HDF (hard disk file) device. OPTIONS -f Force formatting, even if the volume already contains a filesys- tem. WARNING: potential data loss - be sure what you are doing! -l Specify the volume's name (label), default: an empty string. -p Specify the index of the volume/partition, default: 0. (Cur- rently cannot use other than 0, partitioned, multi-volume de- vices are not supported (yet...). -t Set AmigaDOS filesystem type, default: 1 (FFS). The type of the filesystem image can be chosen by specifying the fstype parameter, which can be 0-7 (flags = 3 least significant bits): Bit Set Clear ------------------------------ 0 FFS OFS 1 INTL ONLY NO_INTL ONLY 2 DIRC&INTL NO_DIRC&INTL (For details about the filesystem types, check the documenta- tion, link in the NOTES below). -v More verbose output. -h Shows help info. -V Shows version. EXAMPLES adfformat -l MyDisk1 -t 3 myamigadisk1.adf - creates: - filesystem: FFS+INTL (1+2) - with the label: MyDisk1 - on the volume: 0 - of the adf device: myamigadisk1.adf LIMITATIONS Currently it can only format volumes of unpartitioned devices, so those containing a single volume using the whole device (so ADF/floppy disks and HDF/hard disk files).
