mkfs.ntfs:tldr:38aa7
The command "mkfs.ntfs -L ${volume_label} ${-dev-sdb1}" is used to create a new NTFS file system on a specific device/partition with a specified volume label.
Let's break down the command:
-
"mkfs.ntfs" is the command to create a new NTFS file system.
-
"-L" is an option indicating that the following argument will be the volume label or name of the file system.
-
"${volume_label}" represents the variable that holds the desired volume label. You need to replace this variable with an actual volume label, like "Data" or "Backup".
-
"${-dev-sdb1}" represents the variable that holds the device/partition path. You need to replace this variable with the actual path, such as "/dev/sdb1" or "/dev/sdc2". This specifies the device or partition where the NTFS file system will be created.
To use this command, you should replace the variables with the appropriate values. For example, if you want to create an NTFS file system with the volume label "Data" on the device "/dev/sdb1", you would modify the command as follows:
mkfs.ntfs -L Data /dev/sdb1
