PROGRAM:
NAME
mkfs.s3ql - Create an S3QL file system
SYNOPSIS
mkfs.s3ql [options] <storage url>
DESCRIPTION
S3QL is a file system for online data storage. Before using S3QL, make sure to consult the
full documentation (rather than just the man pages which only briefly document the
available userspace commands).
The mkfs.s3ql command creates a new file system in the location specified by storage url.
The storage url depends on the backend that is used. The S3QL User's Guide should be
consulted for a description of the available backends.
Unless you have specified the --plain option, mkfs.s3ql will ask you to enter an
encryption password. This password will not be read from an authentication file specified
with the --authfile option to prevent accidental creation of an encrypted file system.
OPTIONS
The mkfs.s3ql command accepts the following options.
--cachedir <path>
Store cached data in this directory (default: ~/.s3ql)
--authfile <path>
Read authentication credentials from this file (default: ~/.s3ql/authinfo2)
--debug-modules <modules>
Activate debugging output from specified modules (use commas to separate
multiple modules). Debug messages will be written to the target specified by the
--log option.
--debug
Activate debugging output from all S3QL modules. Debug messages will be written
to the target specified by the --log option.

--backend-options <options>

--version

-L <name>
