file may need modifying before you install the new fsck program. See
the INSTALL file for more details.
- 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.
-
- 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 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.
