E2fsprogs The E2fsprogs documentation recommends that the package be built in a subdirectory of the source tree: mkdir -v build cd build Prepare E2fsprogs for compilation: ../configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --enable-elf-shlibs \ --disable-libblkid \ --disable-libuuid \ --disable-uuidd \ --disable-fsck --enable-elf-shlibs This creates the shared libraries which some programs in this package use. --disable-* These prevent building and installing the libuuid and libblkid libraries, the uuidd daemon, and the fsck wrapper; util-linux installs more recent versions. Compile the package: make To run the tests, issue: make check One test named m_assume_storage_prezeroed is known to fail. Install the package: make install Remove useless static libraries: rm -fv /usr/lib/{libcom_err,libe2p,libext2fs,libss}.a This package installs a gzipped .info file but doesn't update the system-wide dir file. Unzip this file and then update the system dir file using the following commands: gunzip -v /usr/share/info/libext2fs.info.gz install-info --dir-file=/usr/share/info/dir /usr/share/info/libext2fs.info If desired, create and install some additional documentation by issuing the following commands: makeinfo -o doc/com_err.info ../lib/et/com_err.texinfo install -v -m644 doc/com_err.info /usr/share/info install-info --dir-file=/usr/share/info/dir /usr/share/info/com_err.info /etc/mke2fs.conf /etc/mke2fs.conf contains the default value of various command line options of mke2fs. You may edit the file to make the default values suitable for your need. For example, some utilities (not in LFS or BLFS) cannot recognize a ext4 file system with metadata_csum_seed feature enabled. If you need such an utility, you may remove the feature from the default ext4 feature list with the command: sed 's/metadata_csum_seed,//' -i /etc/mke2fs.conf Read the man page mke2fs.conf(5) for details.
