Re: mknod and mkfs
'mknod' creates a device file, as for the case of creating a 'group' file for volume group creation. 'mkfs' creates a filesystem within a logical volume.
See the manpages for both.

Re: mknod and mkfs
There are 3 commands to create device files:-insf, mksf and mknod. Mknod creates a "custom DSF" where arugument normally requires the major and minor number.
newfs is the FRONT END utility of mkfs.

Re: mknod and mkfs
The newfs command is a "friendly" front-end to the mkfs command.The newfs command calculates the appropriate parameters
and then builds the file system by invoking the mkfs command.
