Program Files badblocks, chattr, compile_et, debugfs, dumpe2fs, e2fsck, e2image, e2label, fsck, fsck.ext2, fsck.ext3, lsattr, mk_cmds, mke2fs, mkfs.ext2, mkfs.ext3, mklost+found, resize2fs, tune2fs and uuidgen 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 that is 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 and fsck.ext2 are used to check, and optionally repair, Linux second extended filesystems. 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 The mk_cmds utility takes a command table file as input and produces a C source file as output, which is intended to be used with the subsystem library, libss. 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. mkfs.ext3 mkfs.ext3 is used to create an ext3 filesystem. 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 on other systems, in the past and in the future. Library Files libcom_err.[a,so], libe2p.[a,so], libext2fs.[a,so], libss.[a,so], libuuid.[a,so] Descriptions libcom_err The common error display routine. libe2p libe2p is used by dumpe2fs, chattr, and lsattr. libext2fs The ext2fs library is designed to allow user-level programs to manipulate an ext2 filesystem. libss libss is used by debugfs. libuuid The libuuid library is used to generate unique identifiers for objects that may be accessible beyond the local system.
