-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-8884 2008-11-06 02:58:19 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : e2fsprogs Product : Fedora 9 Version : 1.41.3 Release : 2.fc9 URL : http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ Summary : Utilities for managing the second and third extended (ext2/ext3) filesystems Description : The e2fsprogs package contains a number of utilities for creating, checking, modifying, and correcting any inconsistencies in second and third extended (ext2/ext3) 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.
You should install the e2fsprogs package if you need to manage the performance of an ext2 and/or ext3 filesystem.
