# e2fsprogs
|
|
|
|
The e2fsprogs package contains a number of utilities for creating, checking, modifying, and correcting any inconsistencies in second (ext2) extended 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 e2fsck), tune2fs (used to modify filesystem parameters), and most of the other core ext2fs filesystem utilities.
|
|
It also supports the ext3 and ext4 filesystems with journaling support.
|
|
|
|
You should install the e2fsprogs package if you need to manage the performance of an ext2 filesystem.
