NAME

makefsys − create a file system

SYNOPSIS

makefsys

DESCRIPTION

The makefsys command allows you to create a file system. 

The command invokes a visual interface (the make task available through the sysadm command). 

The initial prompt allows you to select the device on which to create the file system.  After selecting the device, you are asked some further questions before the file system is created. 

The identical function is available under the sysadm menu:

sysadm make

DIAGNOSTICS

The makefsys command exits with one of the following values:

0 Normal exit. 

2 Invalid command syntax.  A usage message is displayed. 

7 The visual interface for this command is not available because it cannot invoke fmil.  (The FMLI package is not installed or is corrupted.)
