Shell Commands/PFSFormat
From MorphOS Library
PFSFormat - Formats a PFS3 partition
DEVICE=DRIVE/K/A, NAME/K/A, NOICONS/S, QUICK/S, DELDIRBLOCKS=DD/K/N, FILENAMESIZE=FNSIZE/K/N, VERIFY/S
DEVICE - Name of device to format
NAME - Label of the new volume
NOICONS - By default the trashcan directory and the disk.info and
trashcan.info icons are created. This flag prevents this
from happening.
QUICK - Quick formatting. The disk is directly reinitialised, without
wiping or checking it first.
DELDIRBLOCKS - The number of deldirblocks to create. This can be anything
between 0 and 32. One deldirblock contains 31 deldirentries.
So, if 31 is specified, the deldir will have a capacity of
31*32 = 992 files. The deldir can be completely disabled by
specifying 0 deldirblocks. The default is 2. The number of
deldirblocks can also be changed on an already formatted volume
by using the SetDeldir command.
FILENAMESIZE - The maximum length of filenames. The maximum is 107.
Warning: After formatting the filenamelength can only be
increased, not reduced. Default is 31.
VERIFY - Enables verify on full format. Does not work in combination
with the QUICK option.
