MKFILE(8)MKFILE(8)NAMEmkfile - create a file
SYNOPSISmkfile [ -nv ] size[b|k|m] filename ...
DESCRIPTIONmkfile creates one or more files that are suitable for use as NFS-
mounted swap areas. The sticky bit is set, and the file is padded with
zeroes by default. The default size unit is bytes, but the following
suffixes may be used to multiply by the given factor: b (512), k
(1024), and m (1048576).
OPTIONS-n Create an empty filename. The size is noted, but disk blocks
aren't allocated until data is written to them.
-v Verbose. Report the names and sizes of created files.
WARNING
If a client's swap file is removed and recreated, it must be re-
exported before the client will be able to access it. This action may
only be done when the client is not running.
