Description
chkntfs creates and displays a status report about a NTFS file system. chkntfs also lists and
corrects errors on the disk, if any (-f flag must be specified).
Notes:
1. when --no-orphans option is used, real orphan files will be deleted. Without this option chkntfs
restores real orphan files to found.XXX folders.
2. Since version 9.4.3 this tool is actually a hardlink to the ufsd utility. In order to make sure that
the files are not taking unnecessary space, it is advised to unpack provided archive on the target
platform, or create hardlinks to the ufsd utility manually.
6.4 HFS+ utilities
There are 2 basic utilities for HFS+ file system:
• mkhfs — format any partition as HFS+ under Linux
• chkhfs — check HFS+ partition for integrity and (optionally) fix errors
6.4.1 mkhfs
mkhfs ustility creates an HFS+ volume on specified (block) device (disk partition) under Linux OS.
Synopsis
mkhfs [options] device
E.g.: ’mkhfs -j /dev/sdb1’
Options
-v:label Specify the volume label.
-a:size Override the default allocation unit size. Default settings are strongly recom-
mended for general use.
HFS+ supports 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16K, 32K and 64K.
-ne:size Specify extents b-tree node size: 512-32K.
-nc:size Specify catalog b-tree node size: 4K-32K.
-na:size Specify attributes b-tree node size: 4K-32K
-f Force the format without confirmation.
-j Make volume journalized with default journal size
-j:size Make volume journalized, manually setting size of the journal
-c Make volume case-sensitive.
-h Display this help
-help Display this help.
-nodiscard Do not discard volume before formatting
