-.TH DASDFMT 8 "Tue Jan 25 2000"
-.UC 4
-.SH NAME
-dasdfmt \- formatting of DSAD (ECKD) disk drives.
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBdasdfmt\fR [-tvyLV] [-b \fIblockSize\fR] [-l \fIdiskLabel\fR] \fIdiskSpec\fR
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBdasdfmt\fR formats a DASD (ECKD) disk drive to prepare it
-for usage with Linux for S/390. \fBWARNING\fR: Incautious usage of
-\fBdasdfmt\fR can result in \fBLOSS OF DATA\fR.
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-\fB-t\fR
-Disables any modification of the disk drive. \fBdasdfmt\fR just prints
-out, what it \fBwould\fR do.
-
-.TP
-\fB-v\fR
-Increases verbosity.
-
-.TP
-\fB-y\fR 
-Start formatting without further user-confirmation.
-
-.TP
-\fB-L\fR 
-Omit the writing of a disk label after formatting.
-
-.TP
-\fB-V\fR 
-Print version number and exit.
-
-.TP
-\fB-b\fR \fIblockSize\fR
-Specify blocksize to be used. \fIblocksize\fR must be a positive integer
-and always be a power of two. Due due some limitations in the driver,
-it is \fBstrongly\fR recommended to use a \fIblockSize\fR of \fI4096\fR.
-
-.TP
-\fB-l\fR \fIdiskLabel\fR
-Specify the label to be written to disk after formatting. If no label is
-specified, a sensible default is used. \fIdiskLabel\fR is interpreted as
-ASCII string and is automatically converted to EBCDIC.
-
-.TP
-\fIdiskSpec\fR
-This parameter specified the device to be formatted. It also can be
-given in two variants:
-.sp
-	\fB-f\fR \fB/dev/dasd\fR\fIX\fR
-.br
-or
-.br
-	\fB-n\fR \fIdevnum\fR
-.sp
-The first form uses the commonly used
-.SM UNIX
-device notation where \fIX\fR is a single lowercase letter.
-The second form uses simply the device number.
-
-.SH BUGS
-None so far ;-)
