-V,--version
              prints program version.

       -?,-h,--help
              prints program help.

       -y,--yes
              assumes an answer 'yes' to all questions.

       -f,--force
              forces mkfs to use whole disk, not block device or mounted partition.

mkfs.reiser4  is  reiser4  filesystem  creation  program.  It  is  based on new libreiser4 library. Since
       libreiser4 is fully plugin-based, we have the potential to create not just reiser4  partitions,  but  any
       filesystem or database format, which is based on balanced trees.

-b,--block-sizeN
              block size to be used (architecture page size by default)

       -L,--labelLABEL
              volume label to be used

       -U,--uuidUUID
              universally unique identifier to be used

       -s,--lost-found
              forces mkfs to create lost+found directory.

       -d,--discard
              tells mkfs to discard given device before creating the filesystem (for solid state drives).

       mkfs.reiser4 - the program for creating reiser4 filesystem.

-p,--print-profile
              prints  the  plugin profile. This is the set of default plugins used for all parts of a filesystem
              -- format, nodes, files, directories,  hashes,  etc.  If  --override  is  specified,  then  prints
              modified plugins.

       -l,--print-plugins
              prints all plugins libreiser4 know about.

       -o,--overrideTYPE=PLUGIN,...
              overrides the default plugin of the type "TYPE" by the plugin "PLUGIN" in the plugin profile.

              Examples:

              assign short key plugin to "key" field in order to create filesystem with short keys policy:

              mkfs.reiser4 -yf -o key=key_short /dev/hda2
