3 Unmount the volume from the system. To do this, type this command, replacing <diskXsY>

with the information you found in the list (“0” is the default ﬂag):

/usr/sbin/disktool -p <diskXsY> 0

For example, to unmount the device above, type:

usr/sbin/disktool -p disk1s9 0

Note: If you have a RAID volume, you will only see /dev/diskX. If so, use “disktool -u”

instead of “disktool -p” to unmount it.

4 Initialize the ﬁle system. To do this, type:

/sbin/newfs_hfs -w -v <newvolumename> /dev/rdiskXsY

5 If you receive no warnings or error messages, remount the disk with this command:

/usr/sbin/disktool -m <diskXsY> 0

To return to the shell prompt, press the Control key and type c.
