NOTE: This is the DLL version of the binary distribution. If you have
|
|
||||||
an ELF system, please either compile e2fsprogs from sources yourself,
|
|
||||||
or get the ELF version of the binary distribution. The ELF version
|
|
||||||
will have a filename of e2fsprogs-0.5c-elfbin.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-0.5c-dllbin.tar.gz | (cd /; tar xvf - )
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2) Run ldconfig to update the shared library pointers.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
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
