I think both is used to create the file system.
# newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0
#mkfs -F vxfs -o version=4,largefiles /dev/vgqa/lvol1
Am i correct that both above commands are used to create the filesystem.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Solutionnewfs is a front end for mkfs because people found mkfs a little hard to use.

Re: difference between mkfs and newfs
"The newfs command is a "friendly" front-end to the mkfs command (see mkfs(1M)). The newfs command calculates the appropriate parameters and then builds the file system by invoking the mkfs command."

Re: difference between mkfs and newfs
The mkfs command creates a file system by writing on the special file special. operands are listed on file system specific manual pages
The newfs command is a "friendly" front-end to the mkfs command (see mkfs(1M)). The newfs command calculates the appropriate parameters and then builds the file system by invoking the mkfs command.
