MKEXFATFS(8) System Manager's Manual MKEXFATFS(8) NAME mkexfatfs - create an exFAT file system SYNOPSIS mkexfatfs [ -i volume-id ] [ -n volume-name ] [ -p partition-first-sector ] [ -s sectors-per-cluster ] [ -V ] device DESCRIPTION mkexfatfs creates an exFAT file system on a block device. device is a spe- cial file corresponding to the partition on the device. Note that if this is an MBR partition then the file system type should be set to 0x07 (NTFS/exFAT) otherwise other operating systems may refuse to mount the file system. OPTIONS Command line options available: -i volume-id A 32-bit hexadecimal number. By default a value based on current time is set. -n volume-name Volume name (label), up to 15 characters. By default no label is set. -p partition-first-sector First sector of the partition starting from the beginning of the whole disk. exFAT super block has a field for this value but in fact it's optional and does not affect anything. Default is 0. -s sectors-per-cluster Number of physical sectors per cluster (cluster is an allocation unit in exFAT). Must be a power of 2, i.e. 1, 2, 4, 8, etc. Cluster size can not exceed 32 MB. Default cluster sizes are: 4 KB if volume size is less than 256 MB, 32 KB if volume size is from 256 MB to 32 GB, 128 KB if volume size is 32 GB or larger. -V Print version and copyright. EXIT CODES Zero is returned on successful creation. Any other code means an error. AUTHOR Andrew Nayenko SEE ALSO mkfs(8),fdisk(8) January 2014 MKEXFATFS(8)
