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-1.04-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-1.04-dllbin.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 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 |
