Short Descriptions
badblocks Searches a device (usually a disk partition) for bad blocks
chattr Changes the attributes of files on an ext2 file system; it also changes ext3 file systems, the journaling version of ext2 file systems
compile_et An error table compiler; it converts a table of error-code names and messages into a C source file suitable for use with the com_err library
debugfs A file system debugger; it can be used to examine and change the state of an ext2 file system dumpe2fs Prints the super block and blocks group information for the file system present on a given device e2freefrag Reports free space fragmentation information
e2fsck Is used to check, and optionally repair ext2 file systems and ext3 file systems
e2image Is used to save critical ext2 file system data to a file
e2label Displays or changes the file system label on the ext2 file system present on a given device
e2mmpstatus Checks MMP status of an ext4 filesystem
e2scrub Checks the contents of a mounted ext[234] filesystem
e2scrub_all Checks all mounted ext[234] filesystems for errors
e2undo Replays the undo log undo_log for an ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem found on a device [This can be used to undo a failed operation by an e2fsprogs program.]
e4crypt Ext4 filesystem encryption utility
e4defrag Online defragmenter for ext4 filesystems
filefrag Reports on how badly fragmented a particular file might be fsck.ext2 By default checks ext2 file systems and is a hard link to e2fsck fsck.ext3 By default checks ext3 file systems and is a hard link to e2fsck fsck.ext4 By default checks ext4 file systems and is a hard link to e2fsck logsave Saves the output of a command in a log file
lsattr Lists the attributes of files on a second extended file system
mk_cmds Converts a table of command names and help messages into a C source file suitable for use with the libss subsystem library
mke2fs Creates an ext2 or ext3 file system on the given device mkfs.ext2 By default creates ext2 file systems and is a hard link to mke2fs mkfs.ext3 By default creates ext3 file systems and is a hard link to mke2fs mkfs.ext4 By default creates ext4 file systems and is a hard link to mke2fs
mklost+found Used to create a lost+found directory on an ext2 file system; it pre-allocates disk blocks to this directory to lighten the task of e2fsck
resize2fs Can be used to enlarge or shrink an ext2 file system
tune2fs Adjusts tunable file system parameters on an ext2 file system
libcom_err The common error display routine
libe2p Used by dumpe2fs, chattr, and lsattr
libext2fs Contains routines to enable user-level programs to manipulate an ext2 file system
libss Used by debugfs
