mkfs.cramfs: Create a ROM filesystem inside partition 1 on device b (`sdb1`).
$ mkfs.cramfs ${-dev-sdb1}
try on your machine
The command "mkfs.cramfs ${-dev-sdb1}" is used to create a CramFS (Compressed ROM File System) on the specified device, which in this case is "/dev/sdb1".
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
"mkfs.cramfs": This is the command to create a CramFS filesystem. It is executed to format the specified device with the CramFS filesystem.
-
"${-dev-sdb1}": This is a placeholder notation for the device file. In this case, it represents "/dev/sdb1". The "/dev/sdb1" is the device file for the specific storage device or partition where the CramFS filesystem will be created.
When executing this command, it is important to replace "${-dev-sdb1}" with the actual device file name, in this case, "/dev/sdb1".
