SFSformat can be used to quick format an SFS partition. The normal format command has special options for FastFilesystem (FFS, DIRCACHE and so on) -- SFSformat has special options for Smart Filesystem. SFSformat currently only has one option, which can be used to format a SFS disk with case sensitive file and directory names (ala UNIX). It's command line syntax is: DEVICE=DRIVE/A/K,NAME/K/A,CASESENSITIVE/S,NODELDIR/S DEVICE or DRIVE The SFS drive you wish to quick format. SFSformat can only be used to quick format an SFS drive. Other filesystems will be unaffected. NAME The name of the newly formatted partition. CASESENSITIVE Specify this on the command line to get case sensitive file and directory names. If you specify this option, then SFS will treat the files 'foo', 'Foo' and 'FOO' as three distinct files. Without this option they would be treated as one and the same file (FFS behaviour). NODELDIR When specified the disk will be formatted without creating a ".deldir". You can't create this directory later on (atleast not for now), so decide carefully. When starting SFSformat it will ask you to confirm the format. Press Return to format, or Ctrl + C to abort. Examples -------- SFSformat drive SFS: name Empty casesensitive -> Quick formats drive SFS: and gives it the name 'Empty'. File and directory names on this drive will be case sensitive. SFSformat drive HD0: name MyDrive -> Quick formats drive HD0: and gives it the name 'MyDrive'. File and directory names on this drive will be treated case insensitively (like under FFS).
