MKCRAMFS

NAME

mkcramfs − make a compressed ROM file system

SYNOPSIS

mkcramfs [-h] [-b blksize] [-e edition] [-i file] [-n name] dirname outfile

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the mkcramfs command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.

mkcramfs constructs a CramFs from the contents of dirname. The image of the resulting file system is placed in outfile.

-b blksize

-e edition

Set the edition number (part of fsid).

-i file

Insert a file image into the filesystem (requires Linux >= 2.4.0).

-n name

Set the name of the CramFs filesystem.

-p

Pad by 512 bytes for boot code.

-s

Sort directory entries (old option, ignored).

-v

Turn on verbose mode.
