Minit

From SpareMiNT Wiki

minit is a filesystem creation tool. Main reason for this programm is to build MIX partitions also on ATARI computers.

If creating a partition for use with the unifoed drive (U:), it is recommend that you should use ext2 instead.

It requires a hard disk driver that supports at least XHDI level 1.10, a partition ID of MIX or RAW, and the minix.xfs filesystem driver for MiNT.

If you start minit without any parameter, you get the following output:

#./minit
Minix-compatible filesystem initializer v0.32
