.. title:: FS_FATFS_MOUNT_MKFS

.. option:: CONFIG_FS_FATFS_MOUNT_MKFS

*Allow formatting volume when mounting fails*

Type: ``bool``

Help
====

This option adds code that allows fs_mount to attempt to format
a volume if no file system is found.
If formatting is not needed, disabling this flag will slightly
reduce application size.
