I need to rewrite the filesystem on a USB stick after it got damaged.
My notes tell me to use 'mke2fs', but 'which' doesn't find it :
has it been replaced by something else ?
I have 'e2fsprogs' installed, but there's no 'man' file for it
& it doesn't seem to create filesystems.
There is a utility 'sys-fs/genext2fs', which I emerged & looked at,
but it's not clear whether it does the simple job I need.
Can anyone advise ?
On my system, /sbin/mke2fs is part of sys-fs/e2fsprogs-2.46.5-r3 with
the tools USE FLAG set.
