- This is the new version (1.09) of the second extended file system
-management programs.
+ This is the new version (1.41.10) of the second extended file
+system management programs.
- See the file INSTALL for installation instructions. This is
-important! Note that your /etc/fstab file may need modifying before
-you install the new fsck program. See the INSTALL file for more details.
+ From time to time, I release new versions of e2fsprogs, to fix
+bugs and to make the utilities more robust. You can always find
+information about the latest version at the the e2fsprogs web page,
+which is:
- This version contains programs written by Theodore Ts'o and Remy Card.
-This distribution was packaged by Ted and Remy with the help of Stephen Tweedie
-and Alexy Vovenko.
+ http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net
- 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.
- The programs written by Remy are:
- - badblocks: a new bad blocks checker. It can be run by the super
- user to search for bad blocks on a device and can also be called
- by e2fsck and mke2fs.
- - dumpe2fs: a new program which displays the control structure of
- a file system. To understand the output of this program, one needs
- to know the physical structure of a second extended file system.
- - mklost+found: re-creates a lost+found directory if it has been
- deleted.
- - tune2fs: adjusts tunable paramaters on a file system.
- - chattr: changes files attributes and version.
- - lsattr: lists files attributes and version.
