Short Descriptions badblocks
Searches a device (usually a disk partition) for bad blocks
blkid
A command line utility to locate and print block device attributes
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
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
filefrag
Reports on how badly fragmented a particular file might be
findfs
Finds a file system by label or Universally Unique Identifier (UUID)
fsck
Is used to check, and optionally repair, file systems
fsck.ext2
By default checks ext2 file systems
fsck.ext3
By default checks ext3 file systems
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
mkfs.ext3
By default creates ext3 file systems
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
uuidgen
Creates new UUIDs. Each 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
libblkid
Contains routines for device identification and token extraction 103
