utilities for manipulating files in an ext2/ext3 filesystem

NAME

e2mkdir - creates a directory on an ext2 filesystem

e2mkdir [options] directory...

The e2mkdir command creates directories on an ext2 filesystem. It behaves similar to ‘mkdir -p’.

-G gid	Set the default group to gid.
-O uid	Set the default file owner to uid.
-P mode	Set the file permissions (ie 755, 666).
-v	Be verbose.

This program expects to have a full ext2 file specification for each argument.

This creates the directory ‘/boot/grub‘ with on ‘boot.img‘ with the current user and group ids:

e2mkdir boot.img:/boot/grub

To override the default ownership and permissions:

e2mkdir -O 100 -P 700 /dev/hdb1:/data/backup

The e2tools were written by Keith Sheffield <sheff>.
