+a DLL system, please compile e2fsprogs from sources yourself. (In

+Also please note that these binaries assume the use of the GNU Libc.
+If you're still using libc5, you'll need build e2fsprogs from source.
To install the binary distribution of the second extended file
system management programs, just follow the steps:
1) Install this tar file using the following command:
- gunzip < e2fsprogs-1.04-elfbin.tar.gz | (cd /; tar xvf - )
+ gunzip < e2fsprogs-1.13-elfbin.tar.gz | (cd /; tar Sxvpf - )
2) Run ldconfig to update the shared library pointers.
this is that the getmntent() library routine interprets those missing
fields as "0", and a pass number of 0 is documented as meaning that
fsck should not check that particular filesystem. If your entries in
