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, u_direct_io, is known to fail on some systems. 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 Installed programs Installed libraries Installed directories badblocks, chattr, compile_et, debugfs, dumpe2fs, e2freefrag, e2fsck, e2image, e2label, e2mmpstatus, e2scrub, e2scrub_all, e2undo, e4crypt, e4defrag, filefrag, fsck.ext2, fsck.ext3, fsck.ext4, logsave, lsattr, mk_cmds, mke2fs, mkfs.ext2, mkfs.ext3, mkfs.ext4, mklost+found, resize2fs, and tune2fs libcom_err.so, libe2p.so, libext2fs.so, and libss.so /usr/include/e2p, /usr/include/et, /usr/include/ext2fs, /usr/include/ss, /usr/lib/e2fsprogs, /usr/share/et, and /usr/share/ss Short Descriptions badblocks Searches a device (usually a disk partition) for bad blocks badblocks chattr Changes the attributes of files on ext{234} file systems chattr compile_et An error table compiler; it converts a table of error-code names and messages into a C source file suitable for use with the com_err library compile_et debugfs A file system debugger; it can be used to examine and change the state of ext{234} file systems debugfs dumpe2fs Prints the super block and blocks group information for the file system present on a given device dumpe2fs e2freefrag Reports free space fragmentation information e2freefrag e2fsck Is used to check and optionally repair ext{234} file systems e2fsck e2image Is used to save critical ext{234} file system data to a file e2image e2label Displays or changes the file system label on the ext{234} file system on a given device e2label e2mmpstatus Checks MMP (Multiple Mount Protection) status of an ext4 file system e2mmpstatus e2scrub Checks the contents of a mounted ext{234} file system e2scrub e2scrub_all Checks all mounted ext{234} file systems for errors e2scrub_all e2undo Replays the undo log for an ext{234} file system found on a device. [This can be used to undo a failed operation by an E2fsprogs program.] e2undo e4crypt Ext4 file system encryption utility e4crypt e4defrag Online defragmenter for ext4 file systems e4defrag filefrag Reports on how badly fragmented a particular file might be filefrag fsck.ext2 By default checks ext2 file systems and is a hard link to e2fsck fsck.ext2 fsck.ext3 By default checks ext3 file systems and is a hard link to e2fsck fsck.ext3 fsck.ext4 By default checks ext4 file systems and is a hard link to e2fsck fsck.ext4 logsave Saves the output of a command in a log file logsave lsattr Lists the attributes of files on a second extended file system lsattr mk_cmds Converts a table of command names and help messages into a C source file suitable for use with the libss subsystem library mk_cmds mke2fs Creates an ext{234} file system on the given device mke2fs mkfs.ext2 By default creates ext2 file systems and is a hard link to mke2fs mkfs.ext2 mkfs.ext3 By default creates ext3 file systems and is a hard link to mke2fs mkfs.ext3 mkfs.ext4 By default creates ext4 file systems and is a hard link to mke2fs mkfs.ext4 mklost+found Creates a lost+found directory on an ext{234} file system; it pre-allocates disk blocks to this directory to lighten the task of e2fsck mklost+found resize2fs Can be used to enlarge or shrink ext{234} file systems resize2fs tune2fs Adjusts tunable file system parameters on ext{234} file systems tune2fs libcom_err The common error display routine libcom_err libe2p Used by dumpe2fs, chattr, and lsattr libe2p libext2fs Contains routines to enable user-level programs to manipulate ext{234} file systems libext2fs libss Used by debugfs libss
