-extended (ext2) filesystems. E2fsprogs contains e2fsck (used to
-repair filesystem inconsistencies after an unclean shutdown), mke2fs
-(used to initialize a partition to contain an empty ext2 filesystem),
-debugfs (used to examine the internal structure of a filesystem, to
-manually repair a corrupted filesystem or to create test cases for
