Example

说明

mkfs.bcachefs creates a bcachefs filesystem on one or more devices. It is equivalent to bcachefs format. Bcachefs is a modern copy-on-write filesystem for Linux with features including checksumming, compression, encryption, snapshots, reflinks, and multi-device support with storage tiering. The filesystem can span multiple devices with configurable replication, providing RAID-like redundancy without a separate volume manager. Different storage tiers (e.g. fast NVMe SSD and slow HDD) can be combined in a single filesystem using the target options (--foreground_target, --promote_target, --background_target). All persistent filesystem-wide options can be set at format time and many can also be changed later with bcachefs set-fs-option.

参数

-L, --fs_label=_label_
Set the filesystem volume label
-U, --uuid=_uuid_
Create the filesystem with the specified UUID
-f, --force
Force the filesystem to be created, even if the device already contains a filesystem
-q, --quiet
Only print errors
-v, --verbose
Verbose filesystem initialization
--replicas=_n_
Set both data and metadata replicas (shorthand for setting both at once)
--data_replicas=_n_
Number of data replicas
--metadata_replicas=_n_
Number of metadata replicas
--metadata_checksum=_type_
Metadata checksum algorithm (none, crc32c, crc64, xxhash); default: crc32c
--data_checksum=_type_
Data checksum algorithm (none, crc32c, crc64, xxhash); default: crc32c
--compression=_type_
Foreground compression algorithm (none, lz4, gzip, zstd); default: none
--background_compression=_type_
Background compression algorithm applied to existing data (none, lz4, gzip, zstd)
--encrypted
Enable whole-filesystem encryption (chacha20/poly1305); passphrase will be prompted for
--no_passphrase
When used with --encrypted, do not encrypt the master encryption key
--nocow
Enable no-copy-on-write mode: writes are done in-place when possible. Implicitly disables checksumming, compression, and encryption. Snapshots and reflinks still use COW.
--errors=_action_
Action to take on filesystem error: continue, ro, or panic
--metadata_target=_target_
Device or label to prefer for metadata writes (used in multi-device tiered setups)
--foreground_target=_target_
Device or label to prefer for foreground (synchronous) writes
--background_target=_target_
Device or label to move data to in the background
--promote_target=_target_
Device or label to promote data to on read (SSD caching tier)
--discard
Enable discard/TRIM support on the device
--fs_size=_size_
Limit the filesystem to _size_ bytes on the subsequent device
--bucket=_size_
Bucket size for the device; must be greater than the btree node size
--durability=_n_
Consider data written to this device as already replicated _n_ times

How do I run a basic mkfs.bcachefs example?

Run `sudo mkfs.bcachefs [/dev/sdXY]` in a terminal, then adjust file names, paths, flags, or remote targets for your system.

What does -L, --fs_label=_label_ do in mkfs.bcachefs?

Set the filesystem volume label
