force Normally, this type does nothing if a filesystem is found on the target device. If you specify force, it's formatted if the filesystem type or label differs from parameters. Warning: This option can easily lead into data loss!

This cdist type allows you to create filesystems on devices. If the device is mounted on target, it refuses to do anything. If the device has a filesystem other then the specified and/or the label is not correct, it only makes a new filesystem if you have specified --force option.
