 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
 .PP 
 \fBmkfs.ocfs2\fR is used to build an OCFS2 file system on a \fIdevice\fR, usually a partition in a shared disk. In order to prevent data loss, \fBmkfs.ocfs2\fR will not format a specified device if a node has it mounted. Different than OCFS, there is no need to mount the partition exclusively after formatting it.
