NOTE: This is the ELF version of the binary distribution. If you have |
|
a DLL system, please compile e2fsprogs from sources yourself. (In |
|
fact, in general you're better off compiling e2fsprogs from sources |
|
instead of using precompiled binaries.) |
|
|
|
Also please note that these binaries assume the use of the GNU Libc. |
|
If you're still using libc5, you'll need build e2fsprogs from source. |
|
|
|
To install the binary distribution of the second extended file |
|
system management programs, just follow the steps: |
|
|
|
1) Install this tar file using the following command: |
|
|
|
gunzip < e2fsprogs-1.13-elfbin.tar.gz | (cd /; tar Sxvpf - ) |
|
|
|
2) Run ldconfig to update the shared library pointers. |
|
|
|
As root, type /sbin/ldconfig. This will update the links to |
|
the shared libraries included in the distribution. You can then remove |
|
the old versions of the libraries from /lib. |
|
|
|
3) Remove any pre-formatted man pages. |
|
|
|
Some distributions will have pre-formatted manual pages which |
|
will always be displayed in preference to newer man pages in /usr/man. |
|
If this is the case, you may need to manually remove them in order to |
|
see the correct manual pages. The shell script in |
|
install-utils/remove_preformat_manpages may be helpful in doing so. |
|
|
|
4) Make sure your /etc/fstab file is correct. |
|
|
|
Some distributions install an /etc/fstab which is missing the |
|
fifth and sixth field of filesystem entry, which are the dump |
|
frequency, and the fsck pass number, respectively. The problem with |
|
this is that the getmntent() library routine interprets those missing |
|
fields as "0", and a pass number of 0 is documented as meaning that |
|
fsck should not check that particular filesystem. If your entries in |
|
your /etc/fstab file look like this: |
|
|
|
/dev/hda4 / ext2 defaults |
|
|
|
you should add "1 1" at the end of each line, so that they look like this: |
|
|
|
/dev/hda4 / ext2 defaults 1 1 |
|
|
|
There is a script in install-utils/convfstab (donated by |
|
Michael Weller) that may help you correct your /etc/fstab file. |
|
|
|
5) Cleanup files from the installation. |
|
|
|
When you're done with the installation, you will probably want |
|
to remove /INSTALL (this file), /README, and /install-utils from your |
|
root directory
