- <para>Some host distributions use custom features in their filesystem
- creation tools (E2fsprogs). This can cause problems when booting into your new
- LFS in Chapter&nbsp;9, as those features will not be supported by the LFS-installed
- E2fsprogs; you will get an error similar to <quote>unsupported filesystem
- features, upgrade your e2fsprogs</quote>. To check if your host system
- uses custom enhancements, run the following command:</para>

-<screen role="nodump"><userinput>debugfs -R feature /dev/<replaceable>&lt;xxx&gt;</replaceable></userinput></screen>

- <option>resize_inode</option>, <option>dir_index</option>,
- <option>filetype</option>, <option>sparse_super</option>,
- <option>large_file</option> or <option>needs_recovery</option>, then your
- host system may have custom enhancements. In that case, to avoid later
- problems, you should compile the stock E2fsprogs package and use the
- resulting binaries to re-create the filesystem on your LFS partition:</para>
