Hi, thank you for the quick answer. >> i stumbled upon a minor spelling error in the mkfs.8 manpage. >> It´s an capitalization error for the verbose option. > > The existing man page is correct, as near as I can determine; the -V > is the verbose option to the mkfs wrapper program.

In the mkfs manpage there are two -V options: One for 'verbose' and one for 'version'. The two -V options are both written with a capital letter. It is ambiguous and I think this should not be intentional. Please correct me if I'm missing anything here.
