Package: e2fsck-static Source: e2fsprogs Version: 1.47.0-2.4 Architecture: amd64 Maintainer: Theodore Y. Ts'o Installed-Size: 1893 Recommends: sash | bash-static | zsh-static | busybox-static Section: admin Priority: optional Homepage: http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net Description: statically-linked version of the ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem checker This may be of some help to you if your filesystem gets corrupted enough to break the shared libraries used by the dynamically linked checker. . This binary takes much more space than its dynamic counterpart located in e2fsprogs, though. . You may want to install a statically-linked shell as well, to be able to run this program if something like your C library gets corrupted.
