关于LINUX系统概念的上的格式化

摘自维基百科

High-level formatting of disks on these systems is traditionally done using themkfs command. On Linux (and potentially other systems as well)mkfs is typically a wrapper around filesystem-specific commands which have the namemkfs.fsname, wherefsname is the name of the filesystem with which to format the disk.^[22] Some filesystems which are not supported by certain implementations of mkfs have their own manipulation tools; for exampleNtfsprogs provides a format utility for theNTFS filesystem.

Some Unix and Unix-like operating systems have higher-level formatting tools, usually for the purpose of making disk formatting easier and/or allowing the user to partition the disk with the same tool. Examples includeGNU Parted (and its various GUI frontends such asGParted and theKDE Partition Manager) and theDisk Utility application onMac OS X.
