Descriptions

badblocks

badblocks is used to search for bad blocks on a device (usually a disk partition).

chattr

chattr changes the file attributes on a Linux second extended file system.

compile_et

compile_et is used to convert a table listing error-code names and associated messages into a C source file suitable for use with the com_err library

debugfs

The debugfs program is a file system debugger. It can be used to examine and change the state of an ext2 file system.

dumpe2fs

dumpe2fs prints the super block and blocks group information for the filesystem present on a specified device.

e2fsck and fsck.ext2

e2fsck is used to check and optionally repair Linux second extended filesystems. fsck.ext2 does the same as e2fsck.

e2image

e2image is used to save critical ext2 filesystem data to a file

e2label

e2label will display or change the filesystem label on the ext2 filesystem located on the specified device.

fsck

fsck is used to check and optionally repair a Linux file system.

fsck.ext3

fsck.ext3 is used to check and optionally repair a Linux ext3 filesystems

lsattr

lsattr lists the file attributes on a second extended file system.

mk_cmds

No description is currently available.

mke2fs and mkfs.ext2

mke2fs is used to create a Linux second extended file system on a device (usually a disk partition). mkfs.ext2 does the same as mke2fs.

mklost+found

mklost+found is used to create a lost+found directory in the current working directory on a Linux second extended file system. mklost+found pre-allocates disk blocks to the directory to make it usable by e2fsck.

resize2fs

resize2fs is used to resize ext2 file systems.

tune2fs

tune2fs adjusts tunable filesystem parameters on a Linux second extended filesystem.

uuidgen

The uuidgen program creates a new universally unique identifier (UUID) using the libuuid library. The new UUID can reasonably be considered unique among all UUIDs created on the local system, and among UUIDs created on other systems in the past and in the future.
