NAME

       newfs_udf — construct a new UDF file system

SYNOPSIS

       newfs_udf  [-cFM]  [-B  blockingsize] [-L loglabel] [-P discid] [-p percentage] [-S sectorsize] [-s size]
                 [-t gmtoff] [-V max_udf] [-v min_udf] special

DESCRIPTION

       The newfs_udf utility creates an UDF file system on device  special  suitable  for  the  media  currently
       inserted.

       The options are as follow:

       -B blockingsize
               When creating image files, specify the blocking size or packetsize of the media to blockingsize.

       -c      Perform a crude surface check first to weed out disc faults on rewritable media.

       -F      Force file system construction on non-empty recordable media or create an image file.

       -L loglabel
               Set the disc logical label to the specified loglabel.

       -M      Disable metadata partition creation when selected UDF version or media dictates this.  For strict
               conformance and interchange, don't disable this unless its causing problems.

       -P discid
               Set the physical disc label to the specified discid.

               Prepend  discid  with  volsetname  separated  with  a  ':' if wanted.  For strict conformance and
               interchange, don't set this manually unless it has a unique hex number in the first  8  character
               positions.

       -p percentage
               Percentage  of  partition  to  be  initially reserved for metadata on the Metadata partition.  It
               defaults to 20 %.

       -S sectorsize
               Set the sectorsize for image files.  For strict  conformance  and  interchange,  don't  set  this
               manually.

       -s size
               For image files, set the file size to the humanized size size.

       -t gmtoff
               Use the specified gmtoff as gmt time offset for recording times on the disc.

       -V max_udf
               Select  max_udf as the maximum UDF version to be supported.  For UDF version 2.50, use “0x250” or
               “2.50”.

       -v min_udf
               Select min_udf as the minimum UDF version to be supported.  For UDF version 2.01, use “0x201”  or
               “2.01”.

NOTES

       The  UDF  file  system  is  defined  for  the  entire optical medium.  It can only function on the entire
       CD/DVD/BD so the raw partition has to be specified for read/write  actions.   For  newfs_udf  this  means
       specifying the raw device with the raw partition, i.e.  /dev/rcd0d or /dev/rcd0c.

       Some rewritable optical media needs to be formatted first before it can be used by UDF.  This can be done
       using mmcformat(8).

       The default UDF version is version 2.01.

EXAMPLES

       Create a file system, using the specified names on the device /dev/rcd0d with the default UDF version :

             newfs_udf -P "Encyclopedia:copy-nr-1" -L "volume 2" /dev/rcd0d

       Create  a 4.8 GiB sparse file and configure it using vnconfig(8) to be a 2048 sector size disc and create
       a new UDF file system on /dev/rvnd0d :

             dd if=/dev/zero of=bigdisk.2048.udf seek=9999999 count=1
             vnconfig -c vnd0 bigdisk.2048.udf 2048/1/1/1
             newfs_udf -L bigdisk /dev/rvnd0d

       Create a 2 GiB file and create a new UDF file system on it using the default 512 byte sector size :

             newfs_udf -L bigdisk2 -F -s 2G bigdisk2.iso

       Create a 200 MiB file and create a new UDF file system on it using a sector size of 2048 :

             newfs_udf -L bigdisk2 -F -s 200M -S 2048 bigdisk3.iso

       Create a new UDF file system on the inserted USB stick using its native sectorsize of 512 :

             newfs_udf -L "My USB stick" /dev/rsd0d
