Manual page and help for the mkfs.ntfs and mkntfs linux commands. You can use mkfs.ntfs or mkntfs to create an NTFS file system under Linux on a device (usually a disk partition). The "DEVICE" parameter is a special file that specifies access to the device under operation (eg / dev / sdXX). Must be entered. The "number-of-sectors" option allows you to specify the number of sectors on the device. When you leave, mkfs.ntfs / mkntfs automatically determines the size of the file system.
