NAME
       mkfs.reiser4 - the program for creating reiser4 filesystem.

SYNOPSIS
       mkfs.reiser4 [ options ] FILE1 FILE2 ... [ size[K|M|G] ]

DESCRIPTION
       mkfs.reiser4 is reiser4 filesystem creation program. It is based on new
       libreiser4 library. Since libreiser4 is fully plugin-based, we have the
       potential  to create not just reiser4 partitions, but any filesystem or
       database format, which is based on balanced trees.

COMMON OPTIONS
       -V, --version
	      prints program version.

       -?, -h, --help
	      prints program help.

       -y, --yes
	      assumes an answer 'yes' to all questions.

       -f, --force
	      forces mkfs to use whole disk, not block device or mounted  par‐
	      tition.

MKFS OPTIONS
       -b, --block-size N
	      block size to be used (architecture page size by default)

       -L, --label LABEL
	      volume label to be used

       -U, --uuid UUID
	      universally unique identifier to be used

       -s, --lost-found
	      forces mkfs to create lost+found directory.

PLUGIN OPTIONS
       -p, --print-profile
	      prints  the  plugin  profile. This is the set of default plugins
	      used for all parts of a  filesystem  --  format,	nodes,	files,
	      directories,  hashes,  etc.  If  --override  is  specified, then
	      prints modified plugins.

       -l, --print-plugins
	      prints all plugins libreiser4 know about.

       -o, --override TYPE=PLUGIN, ...
	      overrides the default plugin of the type "TYPE"  by  the	plugin
	      "PLUGIN" in the plugin profile.

	      Examples:

	      assign  short  key  plugin  to  "key"  field  in order to create
	      filesystem with short keys policy:

	      mkfs.reiser4 -yf -o key=key_short /dev/hda2
