NEWFS_V7FS(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual		 NEWFS_V7FS(8)

NAME
     newfs_v7fs — construct a new 7th Edition(V7) File System

SYNOPSIS
     newfs_v7fs [-FZ] [-B byte-order] [-n inodes] [-s sectors] [-V verbose]
		special

DESCRIPTION
     newfs_v7fs builds a 7th Edition(V7) file system on the specified special.
     If it is a device, the size information will be taken from the disk label
     and before running newfs_v7fs the disk must be labeled using
     disklabel(8); the proper fstype is “Version 7”.  Otherwise, the size must
     be specified on the command line.	V7 filesystem's block size and sector
     size are 512 byte.	 Disk address limits are 24 bit.

     The following arguments are supported:

     -B byte-order    Specify the metadata byte order of the file system to be
		      created.	Valid byte orders are ‘be’, ‘le’, and ‘pdp’.
		      If no byte order is specified, the file system is cre‐
		      ated in host byte order.

     -F		      Create file system to a regular file (needs the -s
		      option).

     -n inodes	      This specifies the number of inodes for the filesystem.
		      If the number of inodes exceeds 65536, it is reduced to
		      65536.

     -s sectors	      Create file system with specified number of disk sec‐
		      tors.

     -V verbose	      This controls the amount of information written to std‐
		      out:
			    0	 No output.
			    1	 Overall size, ilist size, endian and filename
				 length.
			    2	 A progress bar.
			    3
			    4	 More verbose message.
		      The default is 3.

     -Z		      Fill file with zeroes instead of creating a sparse file.
