The new release of the second extended file system management programs
is now available from ftp.ibp.fr and tsx-11.mit.edu in the directory
/pub/linux/BETA/ext2fs.  I have also uploaded it to sunsite.unc.edu and
it should be moved to /pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/ext2 soon.

       You need to run Linux 1.0 or above to use this new version since
some programs use some ext2fs features that where not available in previous
kernel versions.

       This version contains programs written by Theodore T'so and Remy Card.
This distribution was packaged by Ted and Remy with the help of Stephen Tweedie
and Alexy Vovenko.

       The programs written or rewritten by Ted are:
       - libext2fs: a new library containing entries to access the control
         structures of a second extended file system.
       - e2fsck: a new file system checker which uses optimized routines.
         This new checker is much more efficient and safer than the old
         e2fsck.
       - mke2fs: a new file system creator which uses the ext2fs library.
       - debugfs: a file system debugger which can be used to examine and
         change the state of a file system.  Use it with caution since it
         can corrupt file systems if you are not careful.
       - fsck: a new fsck front-end.  This new fsck can run multiple
         several file system checks simultanously if they are on different
         disks.

       The programs written by Remy are:
       - badblocks: a new bad blocks checker.  It can be run by the super
         user to search for bad blocks on a device and can also be called
         by e2fsck and mke2fs.
       - dumpe2fs: a new program which displays the control structure of
         a file system.  To understand the output of this program, one needs
         to know the physical structure of a second extended file system.
       - mklost+found: re-creates a lost+found directory if it has been
         deleted.
       - tune2fs: adjusts tunable paramaters on a file system.
       - chattr: changes files attributes and version.
       - lsattr: lists files attributes and version.

       Manual pages are included in this package.
