Package: util-linux
Version: 2.13.1.1-1
Severity: minor
File: /sbin/mkfs

Hello.

There is no mention in the man page of mkfs about the read-write badblock
checking that is performed with switch: -cc

In the man page it says:
       -c     Check the device for bad blocks before building the file system.


where I think that it should be:

       -c     Check the device for bad blocks before creating the file system. 
If this
option is specified twice, then a slower, read-write test is used instead of
a fast read-only test.
