说明
mkfs.ntfs (also known as mkntfs) creates an NTFS filesystem on a device or file. NTFS is the primary filesystem used by Windows NT and later versions, supporting features like file permissions, compression, encryption, and large volumes. The utility automatically determines filesystem size if sector count is omitted. It creates the Master File Table (MFT), system files, and directory structures required by NTFS. The tool is part of the ntfs-3g package.
