E2fsprogs 1.47.4 (binary only)⚓︎

e2fsprogs is a collection of tools for maintaining ext2 and ext3 file systems. These file systems are commonly used as the default in most Linux distributions. The collection typically includes:

  • e2fsck for checking and, if necessary, repairing file systems
  • mke2fs for creating ext2/ext3 file systems
  • resize2fs for enlarging or shrinking file systems
  • tune2fs for configuring file system parameters
  • dumpe2fs for displaying superblock and block group information
  • debugfs for manually inspecting and modifying file system structures

Despite its name, this collection is not limited to ext2; it also works with ext3, which is essentially an extension of ext2.

Additional information can be found on the e2fsprogs homepage, on Wikipedia, and in the unofficial FRITZ!Box wiki.
