- 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 INSTALL file has instructions on building and installing
+e2fsprogs. Provisions for building Red Hat RPMs and Debian dpkg files
+are supplied as well.
