e2fsprogs
________________________________________________________________________________

e2fsprogs (sometimes called the e2fs programs) is a set of utilities for
maintaining the ext2, ext3 and ext4 file systems. Since those file systems are
often the default for Linux distributions, it is commonly considered to be
essential software. [0]
