This is the new version (0.5a) of the second extended file system
management programs. You need to run Linux 1.0 or above to use it since
some programs used some ext2fs features that where not available in
previous kernel versions.
This version contains programs written by Theodore T'so and Remy Card.
This distribution was packaged by Ted and Remy with the help of Stephen Tweedie
and Alexy Vovenko.
The programs written or rewritten by Ted are:
- libext2fs: a new library containing entries to access the control
structures of a second extended file system.
- e2fsck: a new file system checker which uses optimized routines.
This new checker is much more efficient and safer than the old
e2fsck.
- mke2fs: a new file system creator which uses the ext2fs library.
- debugfs: a file system debugger which can be used to examine and
change the state of a file system. Use it with caution since it
can corrupt file systems if you are not careful.
- fsck: a new fsck front-end. This new fsck can run multiple
several file system checks simultanously if they are on different
disks.
The programs written by Remy are:
- badblocks: a new bad blocks checker. It can be run by the super
user to search for bad blocks on a device and can also be called
by e2fsck and mke2fs.
- dumpe2fs: a new program which displays the control structure of
a file system. To understand the output of this program, one needs
to know the physical structure of a second extended file system.
- mklost+found: re-creates a lost+found directory if it has been
deleted.
- tune2fs: adjusts tunable paramaters on a file system.
- chattr: changes files attributes and version.
- lsattr: lists files attributes and version.
Manual pages are included in this package.
See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
