NAME
     makefsys - create a file system

SYNOPSIS
     makefsys

DESCRIPTION
     The makefsys command allows you to  create  a  file  system.
     The command invokes a visual interface (the make task avail-
     able through the sysadm command).  The initial prompt allows
     you to select the device on which to create the file system.
     After selecting the device, you are asked some further ques-
     tions before the file system is created.

     The identical function is available under the sysadm menu:

          sysadm make

DIAGNOSTICS
     The makefsys command exits with one of the following values:

     0    Normal exit.

     2    Invalid command syntax.  A usage message is displayed.

     7    The visual interface for this command is not  available
          because  it  cannot  invoke fmil.  (The FMLI package is
          not installed or is corrupted.)
