If you have +a DLL system, please either compile e2fsprogs from sources yourself, +or get the DLL version of the binary distribution. The DLL version +will have a filename of e2fsprogs-1.01-dllbin.tar.gz + + + 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-1.01-elfbin.tar.gz | (cd /; tar xvf - ) + +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 liks 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 |
