DESCRIPTION¶
mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs filesystem on a block device (usually a disk

The
block-count parameter is the desired size of the filesystem, in
blocks. If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be used.
OPTIONS¶

If nothing is specified, some default number in the range 48-512 is picked
depending on the size of the partition.

- Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where
this is used.

this is used.

- -c
