-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-.I Mkfs
-builds a file system and copies specified files to it.
-The prototype file tells which directories and files to copy to it.
-If the prototype file cannot be opened, and its name is just a string of
-digits, an empty file system will be made with the specified number of
-blocks.
-A sample prototype file follows.
-The text following the \fI#\fR sign in the example below is comment.
-In real prototype files, comments are not allowed.

-The first entry on each line (except the first 3 and the $ lines, which
-terminate directories) is the name the file or directory will get on the
-new file system.
-Next comes its mode, with the first character being
-\fB\-dbc\fR for regular files, directories, block special files and character
-special files, respectively.
-The next two characters are used to specify the SETUID and SETGID bits, as
-shown above.
-The last three characters of the mode are the
-.I rwx
-protection bits.
-.PP
-Following the mode are the uid and gid.
-For special files, the major and minor devices are needed.
-.PP
-The maximum size of a file system is 1 Gb for a version 2 file system,
-and 64 Mb for a version 1 file system. Alas the 8086
-.I fsck
-runs out of memory on a V2 file system larger than 128 Mb, so for the 8086
-version of
-\s-1MINIX 3\s-1
-you have to limit yourself to file systems of that size.
