Badblocks
badblocks is a Linux utility to check for bad sectors on a disk drive. E2fsprogs and Badblocks are Unix file system-related software.
cdrtools (formerly known as cdrecord) is a collection of independent projects of free software/open source computer programs. E2fsprogs and Cdrtools are free software programmed in C.
Chattr
is the command in Linux that allows a user to set certain attributes of a file. E2fsprogs and Chattr are Unix file system-related software.
Darwin (operating system)
Darwin is the core Unix-like operating system of macOS (previously OS X and Mac OS X), iOS, watchOS, tvOS, iPadOS, audioOS, visionOS, and bridgeOS.
See E2fsprogs and Darwin (operating system)
Dd (Unix)
dd is a command-line utility for Unix, Plan 9, Inferno, and Unix-like operating systems and beyond, the primary purpose of which is to convert and copy files.
Ext2
ext2, or second extended file system, is a file system for the Linux kernel.
Ext3
ext3, or third extended filesystem, is a journaled file system that is commonly used by the Linux kernel.
Ext4
ext4 (fourth extended filesystem) is a journaling file system for Linux, developed as the successor to ext3.
Fdisk
fdisk is a command-line utility for disk partitioning. E2fsprogs and Fdisk are Unix file system-related software.
File system
In computing, a file system or filesystem (often abbreviated to FS or fs) governs file organization and access.
FreeBSD
FreeBSD is a free and open-source Unix-like operating system descended from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD).
Fsck
The system utility fsck (file system consistency check) is a tool for checking the consistency of a file system in Unix and Unix-like operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD. E2fsprogs and fsck are Unix file system-related software.
GitHub
GitHub is a developer platform that allows developers to create, store, manage and share their code.
GNU General Public License
The GNU General Public License (GNU GPL or simply GPL) is a series of widely used free software licenses, or copyleft, that guarantee end users the four freedoms to run, study, share, and modify the software.
See E2fsprogs and GNU General Public License
GNU Parted
GNU Parted (from GNU partition editor) is a free partition editor, used for creating and deleting partitions.
Journaling file system
A journaling file system is a file system that keeps track of changes not yet committed to the file system's main part by recording the goal of such changes in a data structure known as a "journal", which is usually a circular log.
See E2fsprogs and Journaling file system
Linux
Linux is both an open-source Unix-like kernel and a generic name for a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds. E2fsprogs and Linux are free software programmed in C.
Linux distribution
A Linux distribution (often abbreviated as distro) is an operating system made from a software collection that includes the Linux kernel and often a package management system.
See E2fsprogs and Linux distribution
Linux kernel
The Linux kernel is a free and open source, UNIX-like kernel that is used in many computer systems worldwide. E2fsprogs and Linux kernel are free software programmed in C.
See E2fsprogs and Linux kernel
Logical Volume Manager (Linux)
In Linux, Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is a device mapper framework that provides logical volume management for the Linux kernel. E2fsprogs and logical Volume Manager (Linux) are Linux file system-related software.
See E2fsprogs and Logical Volume Manager (Linux)
Mkfs
In computer operating systems, mkfs is a command used to format a block storage device with a specific file system. E2fsprogs and mkfs are Unix file system-related software.
Mount (Unix)
In computing, mount is a command in various operating systems. E2fsprogs and mount (Unix) are Unix file system-related software.
See E2fsprogs and Mount (Unix)
Theodore Ts'o
Theodore Yue Tak Ts'o (born 1968) is an American software engineer mainly known for his contributions to the Linux kernel, in particular his contributions to file systems.
See E2fsprogs and Theodore Ts'o
Unix-like
A Unix-like (sometimes referred to as UN*X or *nix) operating system is one that behaves in a manner similar to a Unix system, although not necessarily conforming to or being certified to any version of the Single UNIX Specification.
User space and kernel space
A modern computer operating system usually uses virtual memory to provide separate address spaces, or separate regions of a single address space, called user space and kernel space.
